A concept map is a two-dimensional, hierarchical node-link diagram thatdepicts the structure of knowledge within a scientific discipline as viewed by a student, aninstructor, or an expert in a field. 34 Cornwell has used concept maps for defining bothcourse-level and curriculum-level content in mechanical engineering. 35 He finds thatconcept maps help students establish connections between the various topics and

Numerous studies have been conducted that demonstrate the efficacy of PBL inundergraduate engineering education5–7. Another approach called design-based learning (DBL)incorporates the concepts of PBL with an emphasis on the design process, and its origins can betraced to improving secondary science education8–10. In the past few decades, DBL’s conceptshave been integrated into engineering education.
