This ATE curriculum and professional development project, "Problem-Based Learning (PBL) for Sustainable Technology: Increasing the STEM Pipeline" is building on a strong foundation from previous projects including PHOTON PBL (DUE#0603143). Using Problem-Based Learning (PBL), they are developing active hands-on learning resources that challenge students to explore new and emerging technologies, to "think outside the box," and to apply their knowledge, skills and creativity in solving authentic real-world problems. This project is 1) expanding the scope of PHOTON PBL multimedia instructional materials to address additional STEM disciplines with a focus on sustainable technologies such as alternative energy, lighting, sensors, environmental protection, nanotechnology and biotechnology; 2) creating and implementing a web-based professional development course for the PHOTON PBL; and 3) developing a model one-semester classroom course in problem-based instructional methods for use in pre-service Technology and Engineering Education programs. They are also conducting research on the efficacy of Problem-Based Learning in STEM education. Their results are being disseminated through the project website (www.photonprojects.org), listserve, annual newsletter, presentations at professional organization meetings, and publications in professional journals.

这个ATE课程和专业发展项目，“基于问题的学习（PBL）可持续技术：增加STEM管道”是建立在以前的项目，包括光子PBL（DUE#0603143）的坚实基础上。 使用基于问题的学习（PBL），他们正在开发积极的动手学习资源，挑战学生探索新的和新兴的技术，“跳出框框思考”，并运用他们的知识，技能和创造力来解决真实的现实世界的问题。 该项目是1）扩大PHOTON PBL多媒体教学材料的范围，以解决更多的STEM学科，重点是可持续技术，如替代能源，照明，传感器，环境保护，纳米技术和生物技术; 2）为PHOTON PBL创建和实施基于网络的专业发展课程;以及3）开发一个基于问题的教学方法的一学期课堂课程模型，用于职前技术和工程教育计划。 他们还在研究基于问题的学习在STEM教育中的效果。 其成果通过项目网站（www.photonprojects.org）、邮件列表服务、年度通讯、在专业组织会议上的介绍以及在专业期刊上的出版物传播。
