Alternative pedagogical approaches, such as peer-to-peer learning andflipped classrooms, provide more engaging and contextualized learning experiences, particularlyfor skill-based courses. The novel approach which is investigated in this research paper is the useof project-based learning as an effective pedagogy to teach an intensive theoretical course oncritical thinking. The course, titled ‘The Art of Thinking and Reasoning’, was designed andtaught to 137 first-year students, aiming to instill in them the cognitive skills of critical thinkingand scientific reasoning in an engineering context. The course was structured in two parts: thefirst part employed traditional lecture-driven pedagogy, and the second part utilised a

As a result, the program significantly prepared the student prior to joining a research group, helping eliminate his “fear” of research. Universities that have and encourage students to join such programs can strengthen the abilities of their students [3]. • Active recruitment by peers: The student was recruited into the lab by one of its undergraduate researchers.

The intersection of these roles – parent andstudent – raises critical questions about how institutions can better support this population, whose successhas implications far beyond individual achievement. The journey of a student-parent is unlike that of their peers. Time is insufficient, resources arestretched, and the stakes are high – not just for themselves but for the future of their children. Theirmotivations to persist are powerful, driven by the promise of better opportunities. Yet, the obstacles theyface often undermine their aspirations. In engineering programs, where time
