The article emphasized the importance of higher learning institutions to be proactiveand innovative in designing and delivering curriculum that is “… outcome-based, informed byreal-world business needs that give students core discipline knowledge while retaining astudent’s ability to explore individual interests.” [3] The literature review includes a review of the current literature in curriculum reform inboth industrial engineering and industrial

The scoping literature review underscored a significant gap in readilyunderstandable and accessible information concerning technology-life balance. Furthermore, thesurvey and interview findings highlighted a challenge within engineering education, which isthat most students struggle to maintain equilibrium between academic demands and personalcommitments. These challenges may be further exacerbated by the technological demands of themodern engineering classroom. While we recognize that this is a multifaceted issue, the lack ofaccessible information on technology and technology-life balance emerges as a significantobstacle according to both students and
