Most participants indicated the need forpractice and time by themselves to absorb the content. There were additional mentions ofneeding further professional settings and real-world examples of the use of the skills taught inthese workshops. A few examples: “Just more practice”, “A lot of one on one time”, “Aprofessional situation where I can apply what I learned”.Another question asked about what aspects of the workshop helped in changing the relevance ofthe topic, the answers aligned along four common functions: Specific examples

To achieve thisbalance, the projects should incorporate a combination of mathematical models and simulations tohelp students understand and analyze the behavior and performance of control systems. In addition,designing a PBL experience that is both engaging and challenging while covering the rigorous mathe-matical concepts is also essential to motivate and inspire students [7]. The projects should be designedto challenge students to apply their understanding of control theory to real-world problems.This hands-on control experience for PBL can be achieved through the use of cyber-physical systems,such as robots or process control systems, to allow students to apply the mathematical conceptsin practical applications

It becomes apparentthat IE students may gravitate towards learning materials closely related to practical applications,favoring content with concrete examples rather than abstract concepts or procedures devoid ofspecific applications. Offering specific applications can assist students in immediately graspinghow to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. On the other hand, ME students mayinitially grasp mathematical concepts or procedures, intending to apply these skills to realengineering problems at a later stage.

ABSTRACTThe majority of engineering students perceive themselves merely as problem solvers and are lessconcerned about finding a problem. However, the lack of ability to find a valuable problem fromthe real world is one of the major causes of invention failure. Problem finding is absent in mostengineering curricula, even in design courses because most problems are still provided by a clientor instructor. To address the need for training the next-generation of innovators, we developed anundergraduate elective, Biomedical Innovation, in which Industrial Engineering students teamedwith medical students to identify authentic problems of clinical significance and proposeengineering solutions. This course, which asks students to analyze the mechanism and

Another suggestion was to offer more classes thatfocus on real-world problems or discuss the practical applications of the concepts being taught.The departments overseeing these teams excel in providing a hands-on approach, allowing teamsto operate under real-world constraints such as budgeting and planning, without the fear of real-world consequences like being fired.Many participants expressed that their time with their respective engineering teams wasinstrumental in developing their project and teamwork skills, making them more confident
