N2 - This paper describes the design and implementation of the CanSat Problem-Based Learning (c-PBL) project at Munster Technological University in Kerry, Ireland. c-PBL makes up part of the Rethinking Engineering Education in Ireland (REEdI) initiative, aimed at providing an immersive, agile and innovate approach in educating engineers of the future for Irelands Manufacturing sector. Modern engineering education is rapidly changing, as it evolves and adapts to the needs and demands of the industrial workplace, and nowhere is this more obvious than in the REEdI project. One of the key outputs of REEdI is a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (BEng MME). The c-PBL project, embedded within the MME programme is proving to be a highly successful addition in the realm of problem-based, immersive engineering education. Not only is the c-PBL project equipping student engineers with the technical knowledge required for modern engineering applications, it is also instilling essential teamwork and adaptability skills into the developing engineer's toolkits. By providing a dynamic and engaging pedagogical framework, this initiative has set a high standard for future endeavors in higher education and engineer development.
