This approach aligns seamlessly with Kolb's experiential learning model, as students engage with concrete experiences through hands-on project work, practice reflection during reviews, develop abstract conceptualization through planning, and pursue active experimentation through implementation (Dukart, 2017).• Problem-Based Learning (PbBL) - Problem-based learning focuses on students collaboratively solving complex, ill-structured problems with multiple possible solutions.

Engineering students will be bettertrained to enter industry if more industry skills are taught starting in the first year of anundergraduate degree rather than the traditional senior-level focus to increase student’s fluencyin their professional skills. Students feel more prepared to enter the engineering industry if theyhave been taught both the technical and professional skills throughout their entire undergraduatedegree plan [2].
