The core members’ strong professional andsocial relationships demonstrate the evolution from professional to social connections, especiallyamong peers.

LP is a mathematical optimization technique that followsthe concepts of these demands as compared to the traditional mathematical courses that onlyallows students the knowledge of concepts and theory without linking to real problems [12],[13]. Integrating LP and PBL is an approach that helps student with meeting these demands, [12]stated that linear programming courses can be taught by assigning the following procedures:gathering information, problem modeling, and result analysis and documentation. These methodscomprise four variables in each section that begins with understanding the problem in

These nuanced discoveries underscore the impor-tance of curriculum design in alignment with student demographics and preparation, challengingeducators to balance academic rigor with the facilitation of student success.
