N2 - The experience of using project-based learning (PBL) methods is talked about in the context of training STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) students for the real-world scenarios in the industry. In this paper, a PBL strategy is proposed as a pedagogical tool targeting undergraduate engineering and CS+[X] students through the design of a biomedical imaging system for breast cancer detection. The primary goals of this interdisciplinary project are, firstly, to train students to implement the theoretical knowledge towards design of engineering product directly targeting one or more sustainable development goals; secondly, to motivate students to choose to learn more about biomedical imaging system development while appreciating the need of interdisciplinary approach in solving a complex engineering problem; and finally, to make students realize the need for technological innovations in the development of portable and cost-effective diagnostic products for developing countries. During the design and implementation of this project, students' competencies have improved significantly which reassures the usefulness of PBL as a pedagogical approach in student-centered learning.
