., 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

passive lecture-based instruction should be replacedwith active, integrative, project-based learning. Design plays a pivotal role in engineeringeducation as it bridges both engineering and design disciplines, encouraging collaboration inmultidisciplinary teams. Project-based learning stands out as one of the most effectiveapproaches for cultivating these skills. This teaching method enhances student engagement andenables them to apply their freshly acquired skills to real engineering challenges. This reviewarticle aims to delve into the impact of project-based learning in the first year of engineeringeducation, highlighting its role in transforming traditional teaching methods and equippingstudents with the practical skills and problem-solving

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
