* Approved CT&D Workshop for Faculty Professional Development hours.

Description:
Faculty will receive introductory training on problem-based learning and incorporation of this learning strategy into both majors and non-majors coursework.

The participating faculty will then be required to produce a problem, PBL cycle, assessment, and concept map product following the workshop. The external consultant will be available for suggestions and ideas via email and will provide a wealth of resources for the faculty for development of their individual exercises.
