• Resumen

  • This paper discusses current knowledge about effective teaching and learning in higher educationand the implications for undergraduate engineering education. The author considers that aspects ofthe traditional model of engineering education, such as the widespread use of lectures, theovercrowded content and the assessment methods used, do not lead to high quality learning.Problem-based learning is one approach to overcoming these deficiencies; its advantages arediscussed and some examples of its implementation are given.
