In addition, gender and prior academic CGPA were found not to be significantlyassociated with the increase in peer learning and collaboration (p>0.05) while class level wasfound to be significantly associated (p<0.05). The findings of this study contribute valuableinsights to the field of environmental engineering education, suggesting that innovative, lesscumbersome, easy-to-use technology when combined with teaching methods can enhance peerlearning and collaboration. These findings may inform future curriculum design and instructionalapproaches to better equip students in addressing the complex environmental issues of our era.IntroductionThe world today faces numerous environmental challenges and

: Founded in 1932, the engineering professional entity ABET has been regulating and accrediting college and university programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology at the associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degree levels [1]. ABET accredits programs based on the presence of a systematic improvement of educational quality, continuous improvement being a key for training professionals suited for a dynamic and competitive environment. ABET ensures the existence of this improvement system using a set of criteria measuring specific outcomes in students, faculty, curriculum, and the program in general.
