unsuitable [1].The DBR approach attempts to interlink the development of innovative solutions for practicaleducational problems with the acquisition of scientific knowledge [2] and follows a cyclicaland iterative process in which design, testing, analysis and redesign continuously build oneach other. On the one hand, this increases the quality of innovations in teaching and learningresearch and, on the other hand, relevant findings are gained for the specific field of practice[3]. The core idea of DBR is that learning situations are not investigated in isolated laboratoryenvironments, but in real situations [4]. The objectives pursued are always twofold: on theone hand, relevant problems from educational practice are to be solved and, on the other

Learning Framework portion of the paperThe theoretical frameworks of Behaviorism [1] and Cognitivism [2] support that learning is bestachieved when supplemented with activity [3]. Behaviorism indicates that when studentsperform a behavior, they learn that topic on a deeper level. For example, consider a class incollege that you felt was the most useful. Most of the time, that class had a lot of examples andpractice in class in which you could apply the material. Cognitivism allows students to apply thetopics through open-ended assignments like case studies or group discussions to better learn thetopic [4]. By applying the concepts directly in activities in class, students

Studies reveal a troubling trend: senior engineering students generatefewer innovative solutions than first-year peers, signaling a decline in creative capacity as educationprogresses [4,5]. Industry leaders increasingly stress that engineers must complement technicalskills with creative agility to address unstructured problems [6].Creativity is particularly pertinent to engineering design and problem-solving as it enablesengineers to rethink problems, question assumptions, and explore unconventional solutions. Inengineering, creative thinking goes beyond

The content of FYE courses can include any combination of topics such as design,communication, professional skills (e.g., teamwork, leadership), and engineering specifictechnology/tools (e.g., MATLAB, CAD) [2].
