support students’ preparedness andreadiness for the workforce.IntroductionSeveral scholarly works examined the role of problem-based pedagogies (PBL) in highereducation as a general pedagogical method (Barron et al., 1998; Cheney, 2004; Fosmire &Macklin, 2002). Others provide strategies for integrating PBL in engineering courses to expandhard and soft skills (Hsieh & Knight, 2008; Cioc et al., 2020, 2021). In all instances, the authorsfound that their PBL pilot implementations were more effective in knowledge transfer,participation, and interest, than a traditional lecture-based approach to instruction. The inclusionof an entrepreneurial mindset learning (EML) and promoted by the Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN), into PBL

(EERC) (2006) framed theengineering education (EE) research field within five broad areas, including engineering learningmechanisms, learning systems, and assessment. To identify and offer the best solution for agiven problem, engineers must consider the economic and social impact of the proposedsolution. (Kant & Kerr, 2019). Educational programs are charged with identifying knowledgeprogressions and skill development as part of a culture of continuous improvement. Pedagogicalpractices should use a variety of educational experiences and methods to engage and motivate,and to enable a diverse pool of learners to develop hard and soft skills that are transferable toreal-world contexts. Educational systems must challenge and reframe practices
