Project-based Experiential Teaching and Learning (PBTL)PBTL is an educational methodology that seamlessly integrates hands-on, real-world projects intothe curriculum, providing a dynamic and interactive alternative to traditional teaching methods[11]. Unlike conventional instruction, where students often passively absorb information throughlectures and textbooks, PBTL fosters active engagement, collaboration, and problem-solving. Thisapproach is built on the understanding that students learn most effectively when they are directlyinvolved in practical tasks that simulate real-world scenarios, allowing them to bridge the gapbetween theoretical concepts and their applications.Experiential learning

inrecent research from Corbi et al., [15]. Engineering students often experience heightened stressand anxiety due to the rigorous demands of their curriculum, which can negatively affect theirconfidence and performance [16]. A study by Olivera-Carhuaz et al., [17] emphasizes the role ofanxiety, dysthymia, and negative affect in shaping academic self-efficacy, particularly among 5engineering students. The findings from the study underscore the need for pedagogical approachesthat address these emotional challenges.

The process safety framework also has the potential to help departments definegoals for process safety by identifying which questions are addressed in their curriculum. Theframework also enables faculty to integrate content into their existing courses simply by askingthe questions. The framework can help faculty design new process safety courses by helpingthem identify what they are teaching and what they are missing.The Process Safety knowledge framework is composed of six key questions: 1.

Fragmentation in teacher education, fieldexperiences, and university learning is common for future teachers learning professional practice[4]. Broader systemic issues of educational inequity disproportionately exclude students fromminoritized backgrounds from high-quality STEM learning environments [2], [5]. This demandfor rigorous and rich STEM teaching is occurring while teachers, teaching, and teacher educationhave come under intense scrutiny, thus providing a moment of opportunity for dramatic re-envisioning of how we support practicing teachers and the education of the next generation ofSTEM teachers.
