comprehensively, the undergraduate engineering curriculum should not only besolidly grounded in the fundamentals of engineering but also aim to instill a commitment tolifelong learning in students [1]. It is essential for students to receive exposure to multiple technicaldisciplines so they can broaden their vision of engineering overall [2]. Typically, schools requirestudents to take engineering elective courses outside their primary engineering major, therebyfostering connections with other engineering domains. Electives present an excellent opportunityfor students to showcase their talents, cultivate new interests, and develop additional abilities [3],[4]. Moreover, these elective courses create an environment for students from various

The curriculum in many colleges probably teaches with thesame content and method but the result is not the purpose of this paper tries to present. On the otherhand, some improvement has been made to enhance the learning of μC or μP such as what the article[2] shows with an experiment platform, but it again doesn’t discuss any information to let studentsdesign their own processors or controllers. As described above, knowing how to design with acommercially available μC or μP opens a door to explore embedded system development whichredirects the focus of the development of a digital system into software and hardware

These requirements were established to ensureacademic equilibrium among participants.To elaborate on the application process, each prospective participant underwent an interview toassess their interests and understanding of sustainability concepts. Questions concerned theirperceptions of sustainability, its potential applications within their engineering-focuseduniversity curriculum, and how they envisioned integrating sustainability principles into theirfuture careers. The responses collected during these interviews were analyzed to establish apreliminary ranking of candidates. This ranking was further evaluated by two university facultymembers, each with distinct expertise: one specializing in sustainability

Likewise, if first year engineering students were capable of workingcollaboratively, they would have relatively higher academic achievement to those that did not [16].Thus, the module was created with a largely online component and an in-class case study toanalyze within groups of peers.In general, it is essential for students to identify the importance and relevance of the content beingtaught to keep them engaged [7]. From a professional standpoint, engineering ethical issues areoften integrated with technical problems, and students need to comprehend the weight of theiractions as an engineer [17].

The integration of multiple viewpoints and thesynergy of collective creativity are essential components that significantly enhance theeffectiveness of Design Thinking (IDEO, 2012). Design thinking continues to evolve with thewidely accepted approach, which follows the order of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, andtest. This process is cyclic and continues until an efficient solution is achieved. Jain (2015) positedthat advocates for

machinekinematics and dynamics courseIntroductionResearchers have recently identified past failure as an “essential prerequisite” for future success [1].Developing course structures to promote productive failure has received considerable interest inengineering education community. Failures during the undergraduate curriculum can help studentsbuild resiliency, humility and grit. However, persistence through failure is only productive if students arecapable of learning from their past failures [1, 2]. Unfortunately, the high stakes assessments typicallyused in traditional courses do not give students the opportunity to practice productive failure ordemonstrate an ability to learn from their mistakes. As a result, students prioritize earning “goodgrades
