The approach improves student performance,enhancing learning outcomes in Computer Architecture and Engineering curriculum.1 IntroductionIn engineering education, there is a significant thrust towards crafting students into capableprofessionals. Pursuing this goal has involved delving into and embracing various pedagogicalapproaches, including differentiated learning [1–6], project-based [7–10], inquiry-based[11–14, 24], and collaborative [15–19]. Each approach imparts a distinctive flavor to theeducational experience, thereby enriching the academic journey for those studyingengineering.Differentiated Learning
participation is mainlylimited to passive listening. In engineering education, active learning manifests through variousstrategies, such as collaborative learning, problem-based learning (PBL), inquiry-based learning,and flipped classrooms.Collaborative and Cooperative Learning: These methodologies emphasize teamwork andpositive interdependence, promoting the development of interpersonal skills and deepeningknowledge through peer discussion and collaboration. Previous studies have shown that thesestrategies foster a greater understanding of content and improve students' communication andproblem-solving skills [5].Problem-Based Learning and Inquiry: PBL and inquiry-based learning focus the educationalprocess on actual or simulated problem-solving and

The ITLproject will allow for developing a a training approach that can be applied to any stakeholder,engineering instructors, engineering undergraduate tutors, and even high school science teachers andstudents who are learning Inquiry to solve any teaching or learning dilemma. The ITL approach is ishighly collaborative and should incorporate and include existing computer science and engineeringstudent support services, other engineering divisions, advisors from

The work by Paulisch [11] agree withthe pedagogical approaches described by Jeff Offutt [12] which advocates for allowing studentsto develop “divergent thinking,” again circling back to the problem of software architecture notbeing able to provide a single, unique, one size fits all, “correct” solution to any given problem.PI in computer science and software engineeringPI is fast becoming a popular active learning, student centric pedagogy in CS education.
