In Japan, C++ plays a significant role in manufacturing and automotive applications,with universities integrating industry projects into coursework [3]. In India, where manyengineering students specialize in software development, C++ is taught alongside data structuresand algorithms, helping students build strong computational problem-solving skills applicable toengineering simulations [4]. These examples highlight C++’s continued relevance across globalengineering disciplines and how this course can be tailored to regional industry needs.In a globalized engineering environment, critical thinking and adaptable problem-solvingstrategies are

Instead, they areburdened by repetitive manual computations that fail to connect with the complex,technology-driven tasks they will face in their careers. Moreover, outdated assessmentmethods, such as high-stakes exams, reinforce this disconnect, often producing medianscores below 40% and fostering frustration rather than confidence.This experimental course aims to reframe calculus education to emphasize not justtheoretical principles but their practical applications. Traditional timed exams have beenmostly replaced with three major projects that focus on solving real-world

This paper shares our early insights and seeksfeedback on our experimentation with teaching strategies such as problem-based learning in asecond-year numerical methods course designed for engineering students.With our primary goal of contextualized and application-based learning, we aim to create anenriched environment that equips students with the skills to effectively apply various numericalmethods as engineering tools for solving complex real-world problems. Emphasizing practicalapplications, we have reviewed existing best practices, restructured the entire course, developednew materials and collaborative projects, and diversified assessments to better meet learnerneeds prior to implementation.

Whilethe importance of theoretical concepts in engineering education is undeniable, it is crucial toconsider the unique challenges faced by students. This confluence of factors necessitatesinnovative pedagogical approaches to optimize learning outcomes and ensure studentengagement in engineering education.To address the challenges of engaging engineering students, particularly those in demandingprograms like ROTC, the "Introduction to Engineering" course [3] incorporates the "SparkFunInventor's Kit" (SIK).

This framework addresses two major challenges each of us has encountered in ourundergraduate project advising: cultivating researcher identity and human impacts of research: 1. The first challenge is the tendency among students to shy away from building a strong sense of researcher identity in student projects that have research components. Whether involving ‘human subjects’ or not, most of our students often assume that research is a discovery of

Metacognition is defined asinternal cognitive monitoring by Flavell [5] or simply thinking about internal thoughts. This self-reflective cognition can be greater achieved in a project setting where students are givenguidance and direction, but not necessarily the exact steps to completion. The metacognitiveapproach also applies to equipment, testing procedures, and technology used by the students inthe laboratory project.The purpose of this project is to aid
