We also exhibit howthis initiative fosters a comprehensive interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary context, diversity,and distinctive student engagement practices.IntroductionHigher education, especially engineering institutions are facing unprecedented challenges due tofast and rapidly changing societies and the growing gap between industry needs and curriculum[1]. To better equip the students, it is inevitable for engineering institutions to innovate andimprove their curricula and provide them with the necessary trainings that help in their career[2]. Among many changes, the focus is on adding new courses and introducing co and extra-curricular

And this is despite students themselves reporting knowing that it’s important toread, and that reading will improve their grades [3]. Many students find engineering courses(including introductory engineering courses) challenging, and failure rates can be high. Forexample, one institution found average failure rates (students receiving a grade of D or E in thecourse, or withdrawing) of 23% for their introductory circuit analysis course [4].

Some examples are studiesranging from ethical concerns in psychology research [1], critiques of the underlyingphilosophical assumptions of scientific research [2]–[4], developing a framework for scientificresearch in the life sciences [5], to social and political critiques of funding practices in the STEMresearch enterprise [6]–[8]. Following these trends, scholars have explored the nature ofengineering and the cultural underpinnings that guide the field in both practice and training offuture engineers [9]–[13].

was in the late 1700s thatresearch was harnessed to address specific needs of society. Countries, and later industrieswould gather groups of scientific individuals to solve challenges related to particular topics. Theindustrial age brought many advances revolutionizing how things were made. World wars alsocontributed to the need for targeted research. It was in the 1950s that the relationship betweenresearch and development (R & D) was recognized [1], connecting research to the developmentof new products and new forms of old products. This connection became the foundation for R &D at the university. Since WWII, innovative research activity has been the single, most importantcomponent of long-term economic growth [2].
