Stanford is involved
with PBL in several departments in varying Iniatives PBL in this case stands for Problem-, Project-, Product-, Process-, and Prople-Based Learning. At the PBL Laboratory, multidisciplinary, geographically distributed teams work on projects. The aim is to teach professionals how to work and team with other professionals from varying areas of expertise. The the core of the team is composed of one architect, engineer, and construction manager. Unlike other forms of PBL, each member of the team has a unique area of expertise and the role of each member is well defined. The premise is that none of the other people in the group can do another's job. The aim is to increase awareness and understanding of others in the group in hope of facilitating collaboration.
