Barbara Duch George Watson Deborah Allen University of Delaware Promoting Institution-Wide Reform of Undergraduate Education: Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education at the University of Delaware

Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education In 1992, a handful of science faculty members, concerned about how well their students were learning, began to use PBL in their courses. In 1993, six faculty members submitted a proposal to the NSF; it was awarded in During the next four years, PBL courses were created in many departments. Numerous PBL workshops were held.
