Here are a couple of good links:
"Problem-based Learning: PBL is any learning environment in which the
problem drives the learning. That is, before students learn some
knowledge they are given a problem. The problem is posed so that the
students discover that they need to learn some new knowledge before they
can solve the problem." From:

I had the opportunity back in the good old days at DEC to collaborate
with McMaster U. in creating a problem based "internship" course for our
Canadian health care team. Its goal was to establish an in depth
understanding and appreciation of the "business" of a hospital. It was
definitely one of the highlights of my ten years with the company.

I'm not familiar with it. Do you have any references?
At any rate, I know that there are certain problems that pervade the
areas of computing that most interest me. A big one is compositional
semantics for concurrent systems (To what extent can the "meaning" of a
system exhibiting concurrency be reconstructed from the "meaning" of
the individual components?) But I suspect that's not quite what you
have in mind.
