ENHANCING FUTURE ENGINEERS’ PROFESSIONAL SKILLS THROUGH INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING

Abstract

Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is an educational approach that encourages students to engage actively with learning material by asking questions, exploring problems, and discovering solutions through investigation. This method fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent research skills essential for future engineers. By focusing on real-world challenges, IBL bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, helping students develop competencies that are crucial for their professional success. This article discusses how Inquiry-Based Learning enhances the professional skills of future engineers and prepares them for the demands of the engineering profession.
