the semester, highlighting its relevance to mechanical engineering andintegrating it throughout the course. Table 1 illustrates the sequential steps and milestones in thedevelopment of the combustion engine, as outlined in the project timeline. The syllabus wasdesigned to incorporate both traditional lab experiments and project milestones such as designbriefs, thermodynamic analysis, and SolidWorks simulations, ensuring a comprehensive PBLexperience. Active learning techniques, including problem-solving sessions and peer teaching, wereintegrated to deepen student engagement and help students apply theoretical knowledgepractically. SolidWorks for simulations and leveraging technology for virtual collaborationenabled students to explore

research/work experience, including experience fromgraduate-level courses on robotics and related areas. The overall course syllabus and contentswere discussed with the Office of the Dean of Engineering and the School of Engineering’sIndustrial Professional Advisory Committee (IPAC) which consisted of industry members fromrelevant disciplines. More importantly, feedback and suggestions were welcomed from(anonymous) student surveys to keep the course relevant to students’ learning needs. The surveysleveraged student-faculty interaction for an improved learning experience [14]. The contentswere revised based on appropriate feedback. Topics unfamiliar to students were prioritized andlesson plans were fine-tuned with time. The current contents would
