Abstract
This paper presents problem-based engineering education (PBEE) as a new approach to engineering education that is based on the problem-based learning (PBL) philosophy. PBEE provides both a curriculum and a process in an educational format that is centred on the discussion and learning that emanates from an engineering-based problem. The PBEE curriculum will expose the student to carefully selected and well-designed problems that demand from him acquisition of critical knowledge, problem-solving proficiency, self-directed learning strategies and team participation skills. The process is typical of the systematic approach used for resolving problems or meeting challenges that are encountered in a career. The paper outlines a modular structure for the implementation of the PBEE concept. The modular structure consists of three phases: pre-engineering, engineering science and practice, and professional skills.
