-technical aspects of real world problems, andthe expansion of engineering disciplines suggest a fundamental change is needed for professionalengineering education. In accordance with other professional education programs, such as inLaw or Medicine, the professional engineering degree should be shifted to the Master of Sciencedegree level. The undergraduate experience can then be broadened for engineers to betterprepare them for the integration of political, social and economic concerns into designAdditionally, both the content and process fundamentals needed to prepare students not just forengineering but to become quality continuous learners and self-growers can be included to thecurriculum.

In this program, students work collaboratively on projects that addresssustainable development challenges, requiring them to apply interdisciplinary solutions andconsider ethical and societal impacts. Such projects exemplify how PBL prepares students tobecome well-rounded engineers capable of tackling the multifaceted challenges of the 21stcentury. The EPS approach demonstrates the tangible benefits of PBL in fostering criticalthinking, problem-solving skills, and an awareness of sustainability in engineering practice [7].
