Its overarching goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the genesis, potential, challenges, contemporary relevance, and methodological approaches of PBL. The impetus behind this undertaking arises from the acknowledged challenges within engineering education, necessitating a fundamental paradigm shift. The study's justification lies in the imperative adoption of innovative teaching methodologies for student performance improvement and fostering competency among engineering graduates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrative unfolds across four distinct sections: Background and Theoretical Perspectives; Methodological Aspects of PBL; Implications of PBL in Engineering Education and Case Studies; and Plausible Examples and Reflections and Future Direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I establishes a robust foundation by defining PBL, tracing its historical roots, and weighing its potential against challenges. A critical examination of PBL's relevance underscores the urgent need for a paradigm shift in engineering education. The part weaves a \"golden thread\" that permeates subsequent explorations. A theoretical perspective of PBL follows, exploring its underpinnings and theoretical frameworks. This is complemented by a comparative analysis, offering insights into PBL's efficacy compared to traditional learning methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second part examines the alignment of PBL with Outcomes-Based Education, lays the groundwork for a coherent and practical integration of these educational approaches within the Engineering curriculum, and also offers methodological approaches to deliver and practice PBL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III explores PBL's application for reinforcing engineering education, emphasising its tangible impact. It probes into PBL as a means to instil entrepreneurial attributes in students and further expands to encompass the decolonisation and internationalisation of engineering education through PBL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final part provides case studies, offer plausible examples, reflects on the lessons learned and draws insightful conclusions, synthesising the findings into a cohesive whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, this book seeks to make a substantial contribution to the ongoing discourse on innovative teaching methodologies, particularly within the context of engineering education. Through a meticulous examination of theoretical foundations, comparative analyses, and the provision of practical methodologies, it aims to serve as a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and policymakers who seek to enhance the effectiveness and relevance of engineering education in our ever-evolving world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dillip K.
