Student Induction into PBL through Problem-solving and Process Skills (PSPS)

Since April 2002, techniques in problem-solving and process skills have been introduced as a core subject for all Year 1 Engineering students. This subject aims to provide students with a brief introduction of what Problem-based Learning is and to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare them to be good problem-solvers and effective learners.

Students are also given opportunities to research, analyse, synthesise and present relevant findings on a given problem in their PSPS projects.

Below are pictures of students engaged in sharing process skills in PSPS classes.
