ECHAVARRIA, Maria Victoria. PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING APPLICATION IN ENGINEERING. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2010, n.14, pp.85-95. ISSN 1794-1237.

Problem-based learning is a pedagogical strategy widely applied in many universities worldwide with the purpose of improving the learning out come of the students who become the center of the process.
