show students what thevarious facets of electrical engineering are.In Fig 6(b), it can be seen that students’ perception of the major increased after learning whatelectrical engineering is all about. This may be due to a misunderstanding of what electricalengineering is by those who are not familiar with it. Once students understand what can be doneusing electrical engineering, the interest in the major naturally increases.However, it should be noted that the movements in Fig 6 are very small. This is not surprising as96.6% of students went into the course with a declared major.

Since it does not fit completely within the cognitive domain oflearning, PBL created this opportunity because of its practical aspect.

]. Although the order of thesepractices may vary, the EDP encompasses a series of critical steps aimed at addressing a specificproblem [36]. The process of engaging in engineering design is initiated by identification of a need orproblem [26] often expressed through concerns of customers or clients [27]. Following this step,engineers explore similar, previously solved, problems, while being mindful of constraints andlimitations. This research phase is critical because it allows engineers to acquire a deepunderstanding of how the problem being tackled relates to those previously resolved. Theprocess of re-design and re-testing provides engineers with useful insights about the physicalconstraints and limitations of the problem or product
