Students also learn firsthand topics that are difficult to teach in the classroom. For instance, students learn the importance of positive interactions with clients, methods of dealing with project uncertainty, real deadlines where more than a grade is at stake, and team conflict resolution in real time.

As an example, a student team made up of six seniors worked for a local Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) manufacturer to develop a plan for their new campus. Initially, the students visited the current location for a tour. This was followed by the students creating a Statement of Work as learned in their project management class. This was discussed with the client and then expanded to include descriptions of tasks, deliverables, and a work breakdown structure. The students spent the remaining seven weeks of the quarter developing a facilities solution that took into account the company’s manufacturing processes, economic constraints, management needs, work flow, inventory methodology, and secrecy concerns and put together a comprehensive plan for the new location. A complete report, approximately 100 pages long, a professional presentation, and a physical model of the recommended facility was delivered to the client. The quality of the report was high and the client was pleased with the many creative benefit - cost justified ideas. In fact the client sent the following note.

"I was blown away with the quality and depth of what these students… produced. Ken will be working with Jeremiah to adopt recommendations presented in the Facility Design. Scott will be picking up on the data and trades presented in the Campus Project."

Although this course has created a successful PBL opportunity for students, this last year some coaching concepts were incorporated that have enhanced learning. Specifically the conceptualization of the teacher as coach and the employment of specific transferable techniques were used.

Role of the Teacher/Coach in PBL

The role of a coach and the teacher as a leader is very important. In this leadership role, the instructor or coach serves as a role model. This is most effective when the instructor or coach has a reciprocal respect relationship with the students or athletes. Athletes or students with a good relationship with the coach or teacher will want to achieve in order to please the coach. This type of leadership is also known as charismatic, a very effective method. Some techniques to enhance the coach/athlete or instructor/student relationship are listed below.
