Problem-Based Learning and Industrial EngineeringAbstractProblem-based learning (PBL), also called inductive learning, is a well-known approach forteaching engineering courses. We undertake a study of concepts that can be taught via PBL,along with an analysis of courses and topics in the industrial engineering (IE) curriculum suitablefor PBL. While in the traditional deductive style of teaching, one usually starts with explanationof principles followed by examples, PBL is primarily characterized by providing examples firstand then generalizing to the underlying principles. A great deal of literature cites evidence ofPBL being more effective than deductive learning. However, PBL also provides numerouschallenges to the instructor – especially to

. IntroductionIn 1983 Stevens Institute of Technology became one of the first colleges in the United States torequire personal computer ownership by all undergraduates. A reason behind this move was tofurther an objective of the new engineering curriculum; namely, that there be a computer threadthroughout the curriculum.3 The other reason pertained to facilities. The mainframe wasseverally overloaded and was not able to accommodate the anticipated additional usage. It wasfelt that personal computer ownership would do much to alleviate this situation.Selection of the original computer and the subsequent evolution of the required machine aredescribed. At the outset, relatively few students were computer-literate and hardware, software,and documentation were
