1 hour to stitch a shirt, while person B takes 1 hour to makea pair of shoes, but 3 hours to stitch a shirt. If they worked apart, without collaborating, it would take 4total hours each for them to get both a pair of shoes and a shirt. If they collaborate to focus on theircomparative advantages (person A makes 2 shirts and person B makes two pairs of shoes) and trade, theyboth get what they need in only 2 hours. Now replace pairs of shoes and shirts with content in engineeringeducation research and hopefully you will see where I am going with this.While I am familiar and can apply different assessment techniques to my own programs, my strengths liein program development and implementation, teaching, and biomedical engineering research.

modern engineering tasks [1][2][3]. This paper introduces an innovative PBL approach implemented in one-credit mechanicalengineering labs at Fairfield University. Our primary aim is to bridge the theoretical-practicaldivide by integrating PBL into the curriculum, thereby enhancing student engagement andequipping them for contemporary engineering challenges. The approach's implementation,outcomes, and pedagogical benefits are explored through a detailed case study, providinginsights into its potential to transform mechanical engineering education. The effectiveness of PBL in enhancing learning outcomes, fostering student engagement,and cultivating essential engineering competencies is well-documented. Research has shown thatPBL deepens

services, which include enhancing patientexperience, improving population health, reducing costs, and improving the work life ofhealthcare providers [1]. Emerging technologies such as Artificial intelligence (AI) have thepotential to transform the healthcare sector by improving patient experience, increasingoperational efficiency, and advancing medical research. Researchers in the medical field widelyacknowledge the potential role of AI applications in revolutionize traditional healthcare modelsand shift the service toward data-driven, patient-focused care [2],[3]. However, among many AIapplications, the Large Language Model (LLM) has been recognized as one of the mostpromising AI applications in the healthcare sector [4]. Unlike many traditional
