The Problem Based Learning (PBL) model is a pedagogical approach that facilitates student learning and is also directly involved in the problems given during learning. In the process students have the opportunity to collaboratively solve problems. In comparison to traditional, teacher-centered learning that emphasizes memorization, the Problem-Based Learning model is student-centered. In applying the Problem Based Learning model students are directly required to be actively involved in solving problems so that of course it will form students’ habits in terms of independent learning where students will actively search for their own literature and get used to practicing. problem solving. The article encompasses literature on the Problem-Based Learning model, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking. It draws from 39 Scopus-indexed international journals and includes documents to aid writers in delineating the PBL model’s profile for enhancing problem-solving and critical skills. The existing literature review leads to the conclusion that the Problem-Based Learning model effectively enhances students’ problem-solving abilities and critical thinking. Keywords: problem based learning, problem solving, critical thinking

“…Curriculum designs 5,6 for optics-majored Freshman year were good examples of applying PBL in optics-related engineering courses. Recently, proposals of optics/photonics PBL in math classroom 7 , optical engineering studies 8 and interactive multimedia teaching equipment 9 for PBL show the popularity of it.…”

Advanced professional courses (APCs) in the senior year will lay the foundation for further graduate study. Meanwhile, they are summaries and applications of the learnt fundamental professional courses (FPCs). Thus APCs form a connecting link between the preceding and the following studies. For example, Principles and Design of Optoelectronic Instruments (PDOI) is a lecture-based APC aiming at familiarizing students with the operating principles and basic design methods of commonly used optoelectronic instruments. Students will be able to describe the operating procedure of the instruments, distinguish the structure and function of each part, and present preliminary results of both overall design and parameter design. Problem-based approach with the following implementation is a good choice for such APCs. An assignment of system design is announced as the problem at the beginning of the semester. Students are asked to (1) describe the basic working principle, (2) do the overall design and draw the schematic diagram of the system, (3) do the module devision as well as the budget, and ( 4) finally analyze a critical parameter of the system. Then during the explanation of corresponding chapters, four times of in-class practices are arranged to help the students finish the assignment question-by-question with the help of textbook, internet and the teacher. Compared with straightforward explanation of the chapters and leaving the assignment as a homework at last, the proposed problem-based approach helps improving the motivation and achievement of the students.
