These new engineering competencieschallenge the existing and traditional lecture-based approaches to teaching and learning and PBLseems to provide a possible answer to these challenges [5]. In PBL, students participate in alearning environment that allows them to acquire knowledge, skills and personal andinterpersonal abilities.

As such, two options have been made availableto all students. Within the 'traditional' path a year-long, 6-semester credit senior design sequenceis available in each engineering degree program.
