The module will be guided by the principles of the experiential/integrative/problem-based learning (PBL), a student-centered approach in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving real-life/open-ended problems. The students will closely interact with the representatives from the parent organizations to explore the pipeline of value-based decision making and to find solutions to the proposed challenges.
