Abstract
This chapter presents the design and use of a problem-based learning project on the topic of Employee Selection. The PBL project is organized around a problem that challenges students to design and implement a selection process for hiring a new shift supervisor for a branch of Starbucks (Thailand). Students engage in all tasks in the selection process starting with screening resumes for a vacancy that has been posted. Student teams design selection tools including resume screening, an interview schedule, and a work sample activity. They then use their selection tools in a role played scenario with live candidates culminating in a selection decision. The chapter describes this process and discusses design considerations.
