fall semester of 2019especially to promote students’ problem-solving skills because problem-solving is consideredas the essential capacity in ABET accreditation [2].Problem-based learning (PBL) has proved an effective way of enhancing problem-solvingskills in many different disciplines, especially in medicine and engineering. Problem-basedLearning was first introduced at McMaster University in Canada, a pedagogy that stressesstudent-centered, small group learning (with teachers acting as facilitators) and organizedaround problems as specific attributes [3]. Since then, it has been widely used all around theworld, and there are many successful cases of applying PBL in professional education.Howard S. Barrows mentioned in his article that “PBL

These include both the timelimitation on covering various important topics as well as the inadequate mathematicsbackground of many students. It is important to efficiently use the resources available to teachOR concepts and improve analytical and communication skills. This is best achieved throughreport writing. “Report to a Manager” is used as a tool to enhance learning important ORconcepts as well as encouraging students to critically think about the solution outputs from ORsoftwares. This implemented pedagogy has proved to be effective.Bibliography[1] Parisay, S., "Multimedia and
