“…• Real-World Relevance: PBL often involves realworld, authentic problems. By connecting learning to practical applications, it can make engineering education more appealing and relevant to a diverse range of students (Chen et al, 2023). • Student-Centered Approach: The studentcentered nature of PBL acknowledges and values the individual experiences and perspectives of learners.…”

"Gender and Diversity in a Problem and Project Based Learning Environment" by Xiangyun Du is a pioneering exploration of the intersection between pedagogical innovation and gender diversity in engineering education. This book expertly navigates the challenges of achieving gender inclusivity in male-dominated disciplines while showcasing the transformative potential of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodologies. Through insightful case studies, critical analyses, and a rich synthesis of research findings, Du presents a compelling argument for the effectiveness of PBL as a catalyst for fostering diversity and equity in engineering education. Her work not only informs but also inspires positive change, making it an indispensable resource for educators, researchers, and policymakers striving to create more inclusive and equitable engineering education.

“…The study by Juebei Chen et al explored factors that promoted academic well-being among first-year engineering students in a PBL environment. Their research found that teacher support and active participation, peer collaboration and atmosphere, and the relevance of course content were all important factors that influenced students' academic well-being [4]. A PBL intervention study conducted by Oscar I. Higuera-Martinez et al aimed at cultivating the creativity of first-year engineering students found that PBL-based interventions can significantly improve students' creative performance and problem-solving abilities [5].…”

Oral implantology is a discipline that combines theory and practice, and its research involves many fields such as ecology, psychology, and genetics. In view of the clinical application of this subject, this article will discuss the practice of combined PBL (problem-based learning) teaching method, introduce the background and significance of this topic in detail, and analyze the current status and development trends of related research at home and abroad. Next, this article combines PBL teaching method to design a model for oral implantology teaching at the postgraduate level, and discovers problems through experimental results and actual situations. The experimental results showed that the average score of the experimental class was 89.3 points, while the average score of the control class was 74.3 points; the participation rate of the experimental class ranged from 93% to 96%, while the participation rate of students in the control group ranged from 82% to 88%. The overall performance of students in the experimental group who have been trained by PBL teaching method is better than that of students who have not been trained, which shows that this method is feasible and can improve the effect of oral implantology teaching.

BackgroundRecent literature has identified students' academic well‐being as an indicator of their persistence in their current study and competence development. While prior literature has focused on measuring students' academic well‐being from psychological and mental health perspectives, limited studies have explored the ways in which the learning environment provides diverse sources (e.g., supervision and peer support) to support students' academic well‐being.PurposeThis study aims to explore sources that foster students' academic well‐being from the perspective of two different student groups, namely first‐year engineering students and senior engineering students, in a PBL (project‐based learning) environment.MethodThe Q methodology was applied, connecting both qualitative and quantitative research characteristics. Two student groups, including 23 first‐year engineering students and 19 senior engineering students, participated in this study to illustrate various viewpoints of different student groups and offer prospects for analyzing data from a new comparative angle via second‐order factor analysis.ResultsIn the first‐year engineering student group, three viewpoints were identified, namely the emphasis on enjoyment through study–life balance, personal values and aspirations, and academic agency. The senior engineering student group focused on internal sources related to professional development, including two viewpoints pertaining to their goal‐oriented academic development and enactment of agency through self‐management. Practical suggestions are proposed to optimize engineering curriculum design to better support students' academic well‐being.
