Students are offered a mix ofindividual research opportunities, team-driven design projects, technical training related to theseprojects, and various activities that promote community engagement and all-arounddevelopment. The program prides itself on its holistic approach to learning, preparing studentsnot only for the laboratory but for a balanced life and career after graduation. Fairness anddiversity are thus necessary guiding values for the program to cultivate a culture of collaborativeinnovation and personal and professional growth. This

Theseskills are recognized as crucial for future engineers in their daily professional lives. However,there are concerns from employers and researchers that undergraduate students may not beadequately prepared to address such problems upon graduation [1‒3]. To make things worse,courses in thermofluids require a robust understanding of mathematics and extensively utilizephysics to explain physical systems. Heat transfer, in particular, introduces complex subjects thatmay appear even more difficult for students studying engineering technology.There have been some attempts at addressing the students’ problem-solving abilities
