In terms of processes, there are numerous options available with the most effective focusing on active learning strategies. Figure 2 illustrates some well documented pedagogic approaches that have been adopted into curriculum delivery. They include problem and project based learning (PEL), project centred curricula (PCC) and Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (CDIO) approaches. 

Because she had the chance to work in teams at her university and develop projects, such as designing a mechanism for recovering oil from ocean oil disasters. In this team-based project, Maria had to examine why these problems occurred. The causes stemmed from many issues like ne igence of a petroleum ship s cleanness or from lack of proper maintenance. In her first year of study at her university through project-based learning experiences, Maria came to conceptualize the impact of environmental disasters.
