Problem-Based Learning: A Tale of Three Courses 1 Problem-Based Learning: A Tale of Three Courses Lisa Greenwood, Mark Indelicato, Miguel Bazdresch, and Mike EastmanAbstractCourses in engineering and science are typically taught deductively, through transmission ofinformation from instructor to student, followed by practice problems to reinforce what wascovered in readings and lectures. Yet in our personal and professional lives, we learnexperientially – by facing a real situation and attempting to address it, and from our relatedsuccesses and failures.Experiential education emphasizes a mixture of content and experiences, connection oflearning to meaning and to

ETD 505BackgroundThe Pacific Northwest (where UWT is located) is not only known for its sprawling, lush forestand superb natural beauty, but it is also known for its thriving technology development, bustlingports, abundance of distribution warehouses, and expansive aeronautical manufacturing facilities.The area is home to Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Boeing, SpaceX, and Blue Origin, to name justa few. However, what most people don’t realize is that Washington State has an ongoing deficitin technical talent. Each year, there is a significant shortage of new engineers, computerscientists, and information technology professionals to fill positions in the region’s high techsectors as shown in Figure 1 below.

This modelhas extended towards younger students with emphasis on developing interdisciplinaryproblem-solving skills by addressing problems using technical, mathematical, and socialunderstanding. Special attention has been placed on making engineering content “relevant”through hands-on demonstrations and tangible experiments designed to spark interest inengineering. Examples include creating an environmental education course in which studentsbuild a greenhouse using 5E principles in Turkey; this resulted in an increase in scientificcreativity scores 2 .

Understanding patterns in student learning styleshas pedagogical value, as it has helped ABE instructors understand not only how the studentsto tend learn best, but also how classes should be structured so that students can learn insituations that don’t match their learning style.

Several different learningstyle models have been developed to facilitate understanding of how different people learndifferently.

To achieve the learning objectives, there is very little down time and little to no slackor float time. Because of this, the faculty team still feels that the 4:1 student to faculty ratio isappropriate for this type of travel.

While they are all verydifferent models, all but one assumes the general model that products come and go. This articlebrings together the various models of the product life cycle in one reading, which mightencourage resolution of the deep conflicts among these perspectives as well as be helpful tostudents studying design. We end by suggesting a meta-model of the product life cycle thatwould allow designers to see all the perspectives simultaneously and even to add new ones.This review should improve a student’s ability to communicate effectively with others about thedevelopment and operation of technology, and also to understand how
