ABET, post-secondaryinstitutions increased their interest in including design in engineering programs focusing onenvironmental, health, safety, ethical, social, and political topics [3]. Commonly, by working ontheir capstone projects, senior engineering students apply the requirements of engineering designprojects. There are different engineering design types, approaches, and scopes. The one exploredin this study is through an engineering environmental national contest. The design contestdescribed in this study distinguishes itself by offering five new environmental design challengeseach year that require teams to build a working bench-scale demonstration.

exploited afterthe COVID-19 pandemic, necessitates collaboration. Thus, teamwork skills should be adequatelypracticed in academic programs. The construction industry has been naturally dependent onteamwork as almost all construction work is performed in teams. This dependency is reflected inconstruction curricula through some team-based courses such as capstone, surveying or othercollaborative classes. In addition, project-based courses tend to accommodate team-basedactivities. A similar situation may exist in engineering programs; however, engineering coursesare traditionally defined based on an instructor-learner relationship. Therefore, defining team-based educational activities depends on the instructor’s approach. The current study

The benefits of integrating the MCUtools in the DSP course are very promising. It permits more practical DSP laboratories and DSP-based capstone projects that render richer design experiences and makes meeting realistic designconstraints feasible. Furthermore, it provides an integrated laboratory curriculum structurebetween embedded microcontroller and DSP courses which reduces students’ unnecessary effortof learning new tools in different courses.

According to Lee [4], the focus of problem-based learning isthe problem solving and learning process, while the project outcome is the focus of project-basedlearning. Since project-based learning is commonly seen in senior students’ capstone designcourses, problem-based learning can be used as a prelude to project-based learning in priorcourses. In this way, students can develop the skills necessary to apply to project-based learningactivities.Gijbels et al.
