that are notmultiple-choice but require a calculated answer. Mehrabian et al. [3, 4] discussed how shouldfaculty design online exams for students studying in engineering and technology related fieldswithout sacrificing the educational quality and exam security and also provided facultyexperiences on the topic. They presented following important recommendations to prepareonline-open book-open mind approach exams: the students should be tested more on theconcepts rather than the material that can be plagiarized easily and selecting random sets ofquestions from a pool of questions for each student. For the second part, more questions shouldbe setup in the learning management system so that the system can randomized the exam foreach student. Pohl
' scores onthe Entrepreneurial Minded Learning Assessment (ESEMA) surveys underscore the potential ofthese pedagogical approaches to augment both theoretical understanding and practical skills.However, the challenges encountered, such as the need for iterative prototyping and adjustmentsto project requirements, highlight the complexities inherent in implementing innovative teachingmethods.The implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurial Mindset Learning(EML) in foundational mechanical engineering courses, specifically Statics and Dynamics, hasyielded promising results. Despite the challenges presented by the traditional emphasis ontheoretical knowledge, the integration of PBL and EML has provided students with practical

established.Literature ReviewAs global demands on resources and the environment continue to increase due to such factors asincreasing population, the sustainability theme continues to grow in importance. Educators areregularly developing or updating courses to tackle related issues. More specifically, educators inengineering disciplines continue to weave sustainability themes into their respective curricula, ordevelop stand-alone courses, to inspire the next generation of engineers to develop creativesolutions to complex problems.As this issue continues to be a global in its nature, many programs in the United States seek tobuild their courses with international partners in mind. There are examples of programs atColorado State University that have partnered
these engineering practices to apply and learnscience ideas.Framework for P12 Engineering LearningNature of engineering researchers argue that although the discipline draws on math and scienceknowledge, engineering has a unique theoretical knowledge base [13] - [17]. Several have raisedconcerns that the NGSS approach of teaching engineering as a set of practices createsmisconceptions [4], [10]. In response, the FPEL was released to provide a holistic view ofengineering learning as a distinct discipline outside of science and other subjects [10]. Theseinclude engineering practices, habits of mind, and knowledge. The FPEL recommends startingwith habits of mind in early grades, adding in engineering practices, and later helping studentsidentify

first year canhave a variety of benefits. In particular, it communicates the important sociotechnical nature ofengineering and the critical impacts that civil engineering can have in advancing or hinderingequity in society. Rather than avoiding this complex topic, first-year students are perhapsuniquely open-minded to considering the challenges posed by striving for equitableinfrastructure. The topic might particularly resonate with some groups and draw the interest ofstudents as a contrast to traditional first-year courses in calculus and physics. In addition, thereare opportunities to integrate equitable infrastructure ideas into later courses such as a mid-leveltransportation engineering course or professional issues course. The concept of

This approach seeks to equipfuture construction engineers with the practical skills necessary for success in their careers and tomeet the industry's demands effectively.IntroductionEducation plays a pivotal role in teaching planning. A well-structured teaching method not onlyfacilitates knowledge transfer but also encourages students to challenge their preconceptions andmotivates them to learn [1]. When it comes to engineering education, there are unique peculiaritiesdue to the specific competencies required in this field. Engineering education is characterized bya distinct design in most curriculums [2]. The aim is to cultivate interdisciplinary-minded andhighly talented practitioners possessing innovative thinking and problem-solving
