Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning are teaching methods based on principles of student-centred learning, which target an interdisciplinary engineering curriculum. The transition from strictly traditional approaches in engineering education represents significant opportunities for change.
The Association of Southeast Asian Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL) has been playing an important role in educational development to promote innovative teaching, research and cooperation among institutions of higher learning. Build Bright University (BBU), Cambodia had organized the 2015 ASAIHL International Conference during 2-4 December at Siem Reap. The main theme of the conference was “Educational Access and Excellence”. The conference covered three sub-themes, namely, (i) cross-border higher education in global context, (ii) excellence in education through provision of technology, effective teaching and research, and (iii) student learning outcomes. Delegates from France, UK, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, East Timor, Cambodia and others had participated in the conference.

One-day, one-problem is a unique adaptation of problem-based learning (PBL) pioneered at Republic Polytechnic, Singapore. Here students are challenged each day with a problem from their domain and attain the necessary learning outcomes in the process of responding to the problem. Throughout the day students would engage in small group discussions, self-directed learning and conversations with their teacher who plays the role of a facilitator. This approach to learning and instruction represents a new brand of constructivist learning in a more structured learning environment compared to conventional PBL. This book contains a series of chapters by authors with first-hand experience in the One-...
