., theoretical concepts, laboratory testing, and engineering design) in traditionalgeotechnical engineering education. Many students find geotechnical engineering education to be disconnected from theirinterests and career aspirations, leading them to perceive geotechnical jobs as tedious,challenging, and irrelevant. As a result, current geotechnical engineering education oftenfails to establish a strong interaction with students[1, 2]. To overcome these challenges andraise students’ interest in geotechnical engineering, traditional group projects ingeotechnical engineering courses are being replaced with creative, project-basedparticipation games, such as mixed reality games, to illustrate engineering principles usingreal-world applications. Based on

attractingpotential new professionals to the field. The user-friendliness and appeal of the WaterMobilesystem make it a pathway to guide more individuals into the water treatment industry. Additionally,in light of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to regular laboratory courses [5], wehave also introduced virtual simulation laboratories [6] and Raspberry Pi technology, allowingstudents to remotely participate in practical operations and experiments without the need to bephysically present on-site. This provides valuable hands-on experience to students without theconstraints of limited laboratory equipment, thus promoting and enhancing the accessibility ofwater treatment education.Project Approach and System DesingWaterMobile is an innovative

abilities crucial for success in theengineering field.IntroductionThis review article explores the impact of design-based projects, commonly known as "designchallenges," on enhancing student engagement and their retention in engineering programs. Thisstudy also targets to understand engineering students' preferences concerning design-basedprojects compared to traditional classroom and laboratory experiences.The emerging global trend in education involves integrating professional competencies into thecurriculum, complementing the technical aspects of engineering. Engineering education shouldbe complete with technical knowledge in addition to the development of professional skills.Starting this process from freshmen engineering ensures students are

the analysis of the applicationsusing them. This approach is used in many different areas of electrical engineering and withsuccess in engineering science programs. However, many of the engineering technologyprograms would not be able to implement this approach easily due to the limitations on extracourse credits available, and the time needed to complete prerequisite courses in math andphysics as well as the higher levels of math and physics required compared to engineeringscience programs. Another obstacle to a practical teaching approach is a lack of properlyequipped laboratories because of the prohibitively higher prices of the equipment used in RFengineering compared to other areas in electrical engineering [2].Curriculum Design
