Attributing to the significance of 21 st century education, students require essential skills and competitive competence aiming them to reach Thailand 4.0 scheme. The evolution of this technology plays crucial roles for students to adopt the knowledge to solve current problems in the upcoming rapid changed world. Relied on this perspective, this study endeavours to assess the effectiveness of adjusting teaching approach for enhancing knowledge integration skills of the undergraduates' group via their problem-based projects. There were 39 Thai students of Mae Fah Luang University located in Chiang Rai, Thailand as a sample. Besides, the three courses that students had to study together in same semester were evaluated and adjusted in this experiment. The results revealed that the improvement of teaching approach in the study had enhanced the knowledge integration of students significantly. By using a new teaching methodology, students were able to apply the theatrical contents from each course to their problem-based projects. Moreover, it also improved students' analytical skill based on reliable references and the theoretical principles learned in every course in a balanced and excellent manner.
