, aligning with the principles of constructivism [6]. A specific example of PBL's success in engineering education is the European ProjectSemester (EPS) approach. In this program, students work collaboratively on projects that addresssustainable development challenges, requiring them to apply interdisciplinary solutions andconsider ethical and societal impacts. Such projects exemplify how PBL prepares students tobecome well-rounded engineers capable of tackling the multifaceted challenges of the 21stcentury. The EPS approach demonstrates the tangible benefits of PBL in fostering criticalthinking, problem-solving skills, and an awareness of sustainability in engineering practice [7]. However, implementing PBL is not without challenges

Student feedback has underscored the course’s effectiveness in fostering connection, enhancingretention, and equipping students for further engineering studies. However, recognizing the fast-pacedevolution in the engineering field, we recently undertook a comprehensive curriculum revision.Key Updates to the Curriculum: 1. Adoption of the Flipped Classroom Model: By incorporating the Rise authoring app and the Blackboard Learn platform, we shifted to a flipped classroom model. This approach inverted traditional learning by allowing students to engage with interactive content at home, thus freeing up class time for active learning exercises that bolster critical thinking and

Tsai and Jannsen [6] reported on the collaboration between departments ofMechanical Engineering and Library on assessment of ABET SO 7. The goal was to incorporateinformation fluency into the curriculum by developing assignments that require students tolocate, evaluate, and apply information in an efficient and ethical manner. As seen from theabove discussion, majority of the schools have implemented assessment of ABET SO 7 throughsome form of an assignment. The Mechanical Engineering Department at Fairfield University switched from the old a– k outcomes to the new 1 – 7 outcomes in 2018. A need was identified for
