The vertical transfer pathway, where students begin at community colleges andthen transfer to four-year institutions, constitutes 12% to 17% of all engineering bachelor's degreesawarded annually [1]. Compared to traditional engineering students, Black and Hispanic studentsare more highly represented among engineering community college and transfer students [1]. Thevertical transfer pathway is crucial for promoting social and economic mobility by providingaffordable access to high-demand engineering careers, especially for lower-income students [2],[3]. Therefore, understanding this important student population is essential to

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]. For thisreason, mindfulness has been integrated into engineering education, initially to support mentalwell-being. Subsequent studies have

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].
