Implementation of the problem-based learning approach in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Malaya

This paper presents the application of the problem-based learning (PBL) method as an innovative approach to teaching engineering. This paper supports the idea that the PBL method is aptly suited to teaching the engineering disciplines, as its methodology nurtures critical thinking and problem-solvin...
