The active participation in projectsrequiring problem-solving and collaboration likely contributed to this improvement,reinforcing the importance of experiential learning in developing these competencies. Thesefindings suggest that SBL may play a role in reducing the gap between technical knowledgeand leadership skills, an aspect often highlighted as fundamental in engineering education [6].While the dimension of Interpersonal Skills (QIS) exhibited a slight increase in mean score(from 4.65 to 4.68), the lack of statistical significance suggests stable perceptions ofteamwork and communication abilities.
