Introduction. 2 Integrating effective problem-solving techniques into engineering education is crucial for 3 preparing students to tackle real-world challenges. This study aims to embed a Problem-Solving 4 Studio (PSS) approach within an introductory engineering course, leveraging a real-world project 5 as the central learning module. The PSS, pioneered by Joseph M. Le Doux and Alisha A. Waller 6 at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2016, represented an innovative educational paradigm 7 designed to enhance analytical problem-solving skills while deepening students' conceptual 8 understanding of engineering

Though the aim of such a course is to instill in students a long-term desire to engagewith the issue of forced displacement, framing concepts this way can also empower students totackle similarly complex issues requiring interdisciplinary thinking beyond their time in theclassroom.

comprehensively, the undergraduate engineering curriculum should not only besolidly grounded in the fundamentals of engineering but also aim to instill a commitment tolifelong learning in students [1]. It is essential for students to receive exposure to multiple technicaldisciplines so they can broaden their vision of engineering overall [2]. Typically, schools requirestudents to take engineering elective courses outside their primary engineering major, therebyfostering connections with other engineering domains. Electives present an excellent opportunityfor students to showcase their talents, cultivate new interests, and develop additional abilities [3],[4]. Moreover, these elective courses create an environment for students from various
