Students agree that theyconsider as many different solutions as possible and that they like to use their intuition to solveproblems. Most students strongly agreed that they consider as many different solutions aspossible to problems with a common response being “There are always multiple ways to get toan answer in engineering, you just have to be creative enough to find that route.” A student whoagreed with this question showed more reflection in the response “I feel like I am getting betterat trying to diversify my thoughts

shift towards renewable energy sources [1].This policy-driven shift necessitates a workforce adept in renewable energy integration.Consequently, a re-evaluation and subsequent update of engineering curricula and workforcedevelopment programs are imperative to align with these emerging demands [2]. However, anotable misalignment can be identified between current engineering curricula and the practicalneeds of the energy sector [3]. This discrepancy mainly arises from the lag in updatingeducational content to reflect rapidly evolving industry requirements [4]. Educators often findthemselves grappling with unclear guidelines on the factors influencing course redesign,leading to a slow renewal process, ineffective teaching strategies, and outdated
