But whilewe can develop educational experiences that facilitate this integration, engaging the communityof engineering students that we wish to empower can be a challenge. As Pawley argues,“…boundary work is bigger than simply differentiating one academic discipline ororganizational arm from another: the metaphor of a boundary prompts consideration of the ideasof inclusion and exclusion, as well as how various material and immaterial groups aredifferentiated.” [1]This case study shares an example of this type of

ThePBL methodology is widely adopted, researched, assessed, and continuously adjusted to newrealities and societal inquiries [4-6]. The method was expanded and reviewed with an emphasis onthe development and acquisition of learning, experimental, and communication skills, practicaldimensions of learning, and relevance to the society in which the students live [7-9].

Conceptselection is a critical part of the engineering design process usually preceded by conceptgeneration [1]. There are several concept generation techniques like mind maps, brainstormingand concept maps. Typically, the project requirement defines the boundary for which these ideascan exist [2]. To move from generating these ideas to picking an idea(concept) can be dauntingespecially for the novice designer.

its importance, limited research focuses on improvingengineering students' problem-solving skills. One reason for this is the demanding technicalcurriculum that fills much of students’ schedules, leaving little time for targeted development ofproblem-solving strategies. As a result, problem-solving is often included as part of broaderengineering courses rather than being explicitly taught and practiced as a specific skill.At the same time, research has shown that engineering students face higher stress levels, puttingthem at significant risk of mental illness compared to the general population [1], [2].
