Welcome to the dynamic realm of automotive engineering education, a space where theoretical constructs seamlessly blend with the pulsating challenges of real-world design. This compendium is not just a book; it's a narrative forged from over sixteen years of immersive experiences in both industry and research, a story crafted to reshape our perception of how engineering education should unfold.

This narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a teaching experiment spanning from 2013 to 2023, an exploration that endeavors to redefine the landscape of engineering education. At its core is the powerful methodology of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a transformative approach that places the design of various vehicles at its center.

But what sets this apart is not just the utilization of PBL; it's the intent to cultivate a specific mindset. Here, challenges are not hurdles but opportunities for growth, and learning is not a static process but a dynamic, iterative journey.

Our methodology is intricately woven around the four fundamental pillars of design thinking. As you navigate through the chapters, you will not only encounter the intricacies of Problem-Based Learning but also witness the power of design thinking in shaping the future of automotive engineering education.

This isn't just a book; it's a companion for those who dare to innovate, learn, and push the boundaries of what's possible in the fascinating realm of vehicle design. .
