Pedagogically, both art and engineering education lend themselves to problem-based learning(PBL), a way to motivate and integrate authentic learning in a discipline. PBL"develops students' higher order thinking skills as they investigate ill-defined problems drawn from real life situations including aesthetic inquiry that is explicitly included in art curriculum(Costantino, 2002, p. 219). In STEM classrooms, learning the basic elements of the design process often correlates with doing real design projects. And although such projects are enjoyable in and of themselves, students can also be exposed to"some flavor of what engineers actually do" (Dym, et al., 2005). In visual arts classrooms, PBL often is the crux of art and design education.
