A Photonics Curriculum and Professional Development Project Problem Based Learning (PBL) is an educational method that engages students in inquiry based “real world” problem solving. It has been used extensively in medical education since the early 1970s. While already adopted in other fields including business, law and education, it is only beginning to emerge in engineering and technology education as an alternative to the traditional lecture-based approach. The project’s goal is to create teaching materials using this student-centered problem-solving method in teaching photonics and optics.
