Abstract
The Aalborg PBL Model encourages project-management as a way for students to achieve efficiency and effectiveness in their study-projects.
This paper looks into how the development of conversation skills relates to project-management as well as other factors. Through analysis of interviews focusing on the discussions which groups undertake in their pursuit of problem-solutions fulfilling assessed real-world needs as well as meeting the requirements of the educational program, it is concluded that discussions serve as a media for achieving learning and as a tool for developing skills essential for professional engineering practice.
