Among these skills, we focus on engineering judgment as a criticalcapability for mindfully addressing complex, real-world problems. Recognizing its importance,ABET has emphasized the development of engineering judgment in two of its StudentOutcomes, highlighting the need for strategic educational approaches [1]. Engineering judgment involves making informed decisions in complex and uncertainsituations, often leveraging a

COIL ImplementationCommon problems faced by COIL educators and proposed solutions. Despite its promise,implementing COIL programs in engineering education presents specific challenges,including: • Technological barriers: Disparities in digital infrastructure and access remain critical impediments to COIL implementation. Variability in internet bandwidth, availability of hardware, and familiarity with virtual collaboration tools can create inequities in participation. Instructors and students in regions with limited resources may face significant difficulties maintaining seamless communication and engagement during collaborative activities [18]. • Cultural misunderstandings: COIL bridges diverse educational, cultural
