Problem-based Learning in a Multi-electronic Media Classroom

摘要

This paper describes the study being performed in the Chemical Engineering Department at Lamar University to integrate best practice pedagogy with computer-aided modeling and simulation into a problem-based learning (PBL) program. The program requires a multi-electronic media classroom that has been set up and will be discussed in terms of the pedagogical objectives of PBL. This setup in the classroom frees the students to concentrate on the information being discussed in class. A path-finder course is being developed to promote the PBL in the chemical engineering curriculum.
