future roles engineering and technology students will undertake, instructors can use PBL to help students develop ideas for dealing with specific problems they will likely encounter in the workplace. Case Studies: Instructors can use PBL with individual students or student teams when discussing case studies on engineering/technology concerns. Laboratory Work: For courses involving laboratory work, instructors can use PBL when discussing appropriate laboratory behavior and relate that behavior to appropriate workplace behavior. The instructor can relate lab problems to similar problems encountered in the workplace. Employed Students: If there are students who are currently employed, PBL can be

Most of the methods reviewed used computer technologyand multimedia to provide interactivity and visualization. Most of these methods were found toimprove student performance and help develop their skills.
