Servant-Miklos, Virginie F. C.; Kolmos, Anette – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Problem-oriented project work, also known as problem and project-based learning (PBL), is a popular educational approach in engineering education. However, the focus of the literature on the implementation of PBL has been at the course and institutional levels. Scant attention has been paid to the student experience, especially…

Bertel, Lykke Brogaard; Winther, Maiken; Routhe, Henrik Worm; Kolmos, Anette – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2022
Purpose: Problem-based learning (PBL) has been suggested as an approach to education for sustainable development (ESD); however, the integration of interdisciplinarity is continuously challenged as it requires transfer and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries, as well as integration into an often already-overflowing curriculum. Even in…

Bertel, Lykke Brogaard; Kolmos, Anette; Boelt, Anders Melbye – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2021
Problem-based learning has a long history of transforming higher education institutions at course-, curriculum- and even systemic levels, and has shown to enhance student-centered learning and core pedagogical values such as facilitating collaboration, complex problem-solving skills and critical thinking. However, rapid digitalisation in higher…

Chen, Juebei; Kolmos, Anette; Du, Xiangyun – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
During the last 40 years, problem- and project-based learning (PBL) has been widely adopted in engineering education because of its expected effectiveness in developing students' professional knowledge and transferable skills. With a growing number of PBL researches and practices in engineering education, systematic or meta-analysis reviews were…

Servant-Miklos, Virginie; Holgaard, Jette E.; Kolmos, Anette – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of change in students' awareness of, interest in and engagement with sustainability issues during the process of acclimatisation to their PBL engineering studies, and to look for differences between engineering disciplines with respect to these aspects. This study used a longitudinal qualitative…

Boelt, Anders Melbye; Kolmos, Anette; Bertel, Lykke Brogaard – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2021
This paper proposes a systematic approach to the analysis of the prevalence of generic competences in formal problem-based learning (PBL) curricula at higher education institutions and universities in which generic competences are an integral and integrated part of the curriculum, with a particular focus on how the generic competences are…

Bertel, Lykke Brogaard; Askehave, Inger; Brohus, Henrik; Geil, Olav; Kolmos, Anette; Ovesen, Nis; Stoustrup, Jakob – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
Since its establishment in 1974, Aalborg University has aimed to deliver cutting-edge research and innovative practices in engineering education. However, increasing complexity related to rapid developments in digitalization and emerging societal challenges offer new opportunities, requirements, and expectations across disciplines for educational…

Kolmos, Anette; Holgaard, Jette Egelund; Clausen, Nicolaj Riise – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Problem- and project-based learning (PBL) has been seen as one of the pedagogical models to bridge the knowledge gab between education and work. This article reports a study of students' preparedness from a systemic PBL university to enter work life. Theoretically, a conceptual understanding of a systemic PBL is presented including four elements:…

Dahl, Bettina; Kolmos, Anette – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2015
At Aalborg University, engineering students spend half the time each semester in groups working on projects in a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum. The projects are assessed through group exams, except for between 2007 and 2013 when the law forbade group-based project exams. Prior to 2007, a survey showed that students preferred the…

Du, Xiangyun; Kolmos, Anette – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
This paper discusses how to increase the diversity of engineering education by making it more relevant and gainful for all students, as well as more attractive to women. Questions were raised whether, and in which ways the problem-based and project-based learning (PBL) method is apt for increasing gender diversity from both the quality and the…

Kolmos, Anette – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1996
Defines and compares project-organized learning and problem-based learning at a theoretical and practical level. Outlines differences and similarities both for institutions practicing and for institutions planning to implement some of these educational ideas. Contains 14 references. (JRH)
