this process can be used as feedback to improve the quality of the course. In program level, assessment of the program outcome-portfolio provides afeedback for continuous quality improvement of the program. The program outcomeportfolios may include one portfolio for each designated outcome. The number ofoutcomes should be a minimum of eleven3, from (a) through (k) as defined in theguidelines of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). There maybe more outcomes defined based on the need of a program and its constituency. Eachportfolio should contain evidence materials collected from freshmen through senior yearto demonstrate the specified outcome.

Additionally, this project addresses real-world challenges, furtherenhancing problem-solving skills and enhancing students’ ability to approach complex problemsfrom multiple perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach fosters a well-rounded skill set,making the students valuable in industries where these technologies converge.As future engineers, the students have a significant environmental responsibility. The decisionsand actions of engineers have substantial impacts on the environment, both positive andnegative. Since the project involves assessing and minimizing environmental impact to reducecarbon emissions by 2060, therefore the projects contributes to a broader understanding of theenvironmental

Literature ReviewTwo areas of literature are relevant to this study: instructional development in engineering; andinstructional development during the pandemic.2.1 Instructional Development in engineeringThe need for instructional development in engineering has become increasingly important overthe past two decades [5]. This has been driven by several factors, including outcomes-basedaccreditation of engineering programs, changing demographics and attributes of engineeringstudents, advances in instructional technology and cognitive science, and the increased emphasison scholarship of teaching and learning in engineering education [6].On
