| Description: | The PBL Lab is the home of an integrated research and curriculum development effort launched in 1993 in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. The PBL Lab's Goal is to be world leaders in Global Teamwork together with its partners. The Mission is to engage graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and industry practitioners in multi-disciplinary, collaborative, geographically distributed PBL activities. PBL is a process of teaching and learning that focuses on problem based, project centered activities that produce a product for a client. PBL is based on re-engineering processes that bring people from multiple disciplines together. The Objectives are to develop, implement, test, deploy, and assess radically new and innovative collaboration technologies, learning technologies, knowledge capture, sharing and re-use technologies, workspaces, and learning and work processes that support collaborative, cross-disciplinary, geographically distributed teamwork and learning. The focus is on projects that integrate architecture, structural engineering and construction. |
