Thisapproach aims to equip students with the ability to integrate theories, concepts, andmethods from multiple disciplines (Lattuca et al., 2004), fostering the development ofnew knowledge, insights, and problem-solving capabilities (Holley, 2017).Currently, interdisciplinary engineering education research lacks a universallyaccepted theoretical framework and cohesive academic structure. Existing studiesoften focus on various aspects, including the motivations and goals ofinterdisciplinary education, such as solving complex real-world problems (Lansu et al.,2013), fostering entrepreneurial competencies (Klapper and Tegtmeier, 2010), andpromoting social values like sustainability (Apul and Philpott, 2011) .

-solving experiences [19, 20].Supportive learning environments that encourage experimentation, risk-taking, and design iterationare critical for cultivating creativity [21]. Instructors play a pivotal role by facilitating open-endedproblem-solving and fostering an inquiry-driven mindset. However, Kazakhstan’s socio-economicdisparities, particularly in rural regions, limit access to modern infrastructure and creative learningresources. Implementing Project-Based Learning, design thinking, and entrepreneurial programscan help address these barriers. For example, simulation-based learning and TRIZ (Theory ofInventive Problem Solving) methods have been shown to double the number of creative ideasgenerated by engineering students [22].Mapping the

Many different design challenges have led todocumented increases in technical and problem solving skills and can be used to foster animproved innovation mindset [15].
