Abstrakt: This review paper explores innovative teaching and learning methods in engineering education, emphasizing the need for effective pedagogical strategies to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. The study systematically examines current literature, including empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, focusing on traditional and modern educational practices. Key findings indicate that active learning approaches, such as Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Problem-Based Learning, significantly improve critical thinking and problemsolving skills among engineering students. Additionally, the integration of technology, including simulation tools and online learning platforms, has been shown to facilitate deeper understanding of complex engineering concepts. Despite the positive outcomes associated with these methods, challenges such as institutional resistance and the need for faculty training remain prevalent. The implications of this review suggest that a shift towards more interactive and student-centered learning environments is essential for preparing future engineers to meet industry demands. Furthermore, ongoing research is necessary to assess the long-term effectiveness of these innovative methods and to develop frameworks that support their implementation in diverse educational contexts. Overall, this paper contributes to the discourse on engineering education by highlighting successful teaching practices and identifying areas for future exploration, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality of engineering education globally.
