The generalconclusion of this body of literature is correlational, that is, the greater the students’ engagementin curricular and co-curricular activities on campus, the greater their level of cognitive andpsychosocial development. For this reason, student engagement has been well recognized as apredictor of student learning and an important factor of student success [5, 25, 26]. The positivecorrelation between student engagement and learning outcomes has been reported extensively inhigher education literature. For example, a study that used multi

Real-world problems are complex and multi-dimensional, thus requiring expertisefrom across multiple domains to problem-solve effectively, calling for training in multi-disciplinary skills as essential for engineering graduates [5]. Outcome-based curriculumdevelopment followed by most universities is aimed at developing engineers better prepared forthe workplace.
