Through project-based learning,students are encouraged to assume responsibility for their learning experience and to shift from a passiveto an active learning style [2].Multiple active learning projects and hands-on activities are incorporated in our Fundamentals ofEngineering course to provide an active learning environment to incoming freshman students. This courseis required for first-semester engineering students at Fairfield University. A key factor is the heterogeneousnature of the students taking the course, namely, electrical, bioengineering, mechanical and

Beyond the theoretical knowledge, I have a hands-on approach to data. I am proficient in using advanced analytical tools such as Microsoft Office, Tableau, Python, Power BI and SAS to dive deep into data, analyze it, and present it visually. This skill set not only broadens my understanding of supply chain dynamics but also enables me to propose innovative solutions to enhance their efficiency. My dedication to my field is reflected in my continuous quest for knowledge and my desire to make a meaningful contribution to the improvement of supply chain systems. The combination of my
