As the demand for engineers capable of solving complex, real-world problems continue to rise, both academia and industry face a shared challenge: how to effectively cultivate advanced problem-solving skills in future professionals. These skills are now central to engineering program accreditation, yet remain difficult to develop through traditional classroom methods. This interactive webinar introduces Cooperative Problem-Based Learning (CPBL)—a research-backed pedagogical approach that integrates Cooperative Learning principles into the inductive Problem-Based Learning process. CPBL offers a structured framework that guides students step-by-step to become self- directed learners and proficient problem-solvers. With over 15 years of proven impact, CPBL has enhanced teamwork, motivation, deep learning, metacognition, and problem-solving among engineering students. Participants will gain practical strategies to implement CPBL in classrooms and see how this approach better prepares graduates for collaborative, high-stakes environments. Join us to explore how CPBL can serve as a powerful bridge between academic instruction and industry expectations—equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in today’s complex engineering landscape.
