, such as the mid-Atlantic, to prevent more disasters at sea.The OceanGate disaster can be used as a valuable lesson to educate the future leaders ofengineering. Cultural vitality and social responsiveness must come from the design of thetechnology itself rather than the dreams and ideas of one person. This shift encourages acollaborative engineering community during design and development to provide a diverse rangeof perspectives. Emerging leaders in technology must serve as role models for those whoendeavor new technology and must demonstrate responsible and ethical engineering while stillstriving for innovation. Additionally, sound engineering choices benefit society as a whole. HadOceanGate not sunk, the American and Canadian coast guards

Learning Project-based learning is a commonly used teaching method in engineering due to itshands-on approach. Project-based learning is centered around the learner and allows them toinvestigate topics through experimentation [9]. Therefore, students have the flexibility to tailortheir approach to a project according to their preferred learning preferences. Project-basedlearning helps students with hands-on technology experience, the ability to work autonomouslyand take responsibility, and fosters inclusion and teamwork [10]. These are important attributeswhen it comes to working in industry since most projects are assigned and given a specificdeadline [11]. Some students might face challenges when switching from a traditional classroomto
