different situatedlearning experiences can influence lifelong learning orientations (attitudes and values related tolifelong learning). There is wide awareness that the engineering profession has a role to play inaddressing global socio-technical problems such as climate change and digital misinformation[1]. At the same time, rapid technological change and other shifts in the labour system mean thatengineers’ workplace responsibilities and career paths are prone to uncertainty and precarity [2].As will be discussed, lifelong learning competencies can enable individuals to navigate thesechanges and challenges in their individual career trajectories and to make innovativetechnological contributions.

Specifically in the 1990s, changeslike the increased use of information technology, corporate downsizing, outsourcing workabroad, and globalization of the industry have altered the knowledge required of engineers [3].Rapid technological innovation currently requires engineers to develop solid

regarding active experimentation[7]. Open-ended laboratory courses or even traditional classes with experimentation exposure have shownto provide greater learning value as compared to the traditional lecture only focus [2,8]. Such coursesemploy an approach to learning science that are backed by a significant body of work on research-basedand active pedagogies in various engineering disciplines as well as have demonstrated superior levels ofstudent engagement and learning. Introduction of real-world problems not only allows students to masterappropriate techniques and technologies, but also allows the students to design strategies for solvingproblems and practice an overall process of inquiry [9-10].

can optionally enrol in non-engineeringdesign courses from the Communication and Design program like ‘Design, Technology andSociety’ or ‘Systematic Design’. Even though there were plentiful opportunities for studentsto be trained in important tenets of design, some gaps in the ECE students’ design learningwere identified, which presented opportunities for teaching mechanical engineering design. Alisting of these gaps/opportunities is as follows:• ECE students typically encountered design in the context of circuit design or design of electronics systems wherein, unlike for design of mechanical systems, design choices are not visible as tangible artifacts. Rather, they appear as less tangible changes, e.g. differences in circuit
