In order to evaluate theeffectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach to PBL focused on students’ work with real-world problems, this study investigates the impact of two different PBL approaches(competitive or collaborative) on students’ learning motivation, creative thinking and projectperformance, including professional skills, communication skills, creative

This enhancement of the emotional engagement of the students studying the case should yield increased retention, as described in (Newberry, 2004). • The case should be undertaken by teams of two or more students, thus requiring discussion and deliberation, and introducing peer pressure influence on their decisions. • Case implementation should directly impact the students’ course

There are counter arguments about career awareness and that both objectives can beaddressed by making sure that fundamental math and science is connected to the engineeringcourse.
