Thisprocess encompasses the integration of diverse perspectives, systemic thinking, thenavigation of uncertainty, and effective collaboration. It employs a method that iscentered around humans and adaptable, aimed at addressing challenging andmultifaceted issues. Design thinkers engage with problems and potential solutions byconsidering all related elements and connections.2.2 The key features of design thinking in engineering education.Expanding on the analysis of the key features of design thinking in engineeringeducation, as outlined based on the definitions by Brenner, Uebernickel [16

Currently, there are areas in which women are underrepresented, necessitatingspecific actions to reduce gender gaps. The STEM fields, Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics, are most affected by these gaps. For instance, IT (Information Technology)companies seek to hire women, but there remains a significant gap in their participation in thesecareers [2], making the hiring process more challenging.

As such, severalstudies used software tools like machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), technology-enabledactive learning (TEAL), and other methods to improve students’ motivation. These approachescould limit students from acquiring hands-on skills, which lowers their technical proficiency—avital skill for STEM students.
