The paper concludes withgeneralized recommendations for other educational applications.IntroductionFrequently engineering students and practicing engineers approach problems from a singleperceptive. They tend to define problems as an ergonomics problem, a productivity problem, ora quality problem; rather, than seeing the broad cross-discipline nature of the problem. This notonly limits the 'solutions' to the problems, but can also reduce the effectiveness of the engineer injustifying his or her solution. For example, despite ergonomics' recent wave of popularity, someergonomists have continued

), Entrepreneurial Minded Learning(EML), Thermodynamics, Hands-on activity, SurveyIntroductionThe traditional teaching method, lecture-based learning, is currently changing to a model focusingon student-centered learning, such as problem-based or project-based learning (PBL). The teacher-centered method is based on teachers directing students to learn through memorization andrecitation techniques, therefore not developing their critical thinking, problem-solving, anddecision-making skills. The student-centered method, which includes PBL, aims to engage thestudents for a better experience; teachers become mentors/guides of the students. PBL method isbecoming one of the most used methodologies in the current engineering education [1]–[4].One good example of
