This article explores the effectiveness of interdisciplinary project-based learning in fostering and assessing
key competencies essential for students’ professional success. By engaging students in a series of industryrelevant tasks - such as market research, stakeholder communication, design development, and project presentation - this approach facilitates the practical application of theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts. The
study emphasizes the significance of developing critical skills, including analytical thinking, communication,
research skills, collaboration, and adaptability. Additionally, the integration of industry feedback provides educators with a framework to evaluate students’ competencies against professional standards, thereby enhancing the rigor of competency assessment. This alignment with the evolving demands of today’s labor market
underscores the importance of cultivating transferable skills that prepare students for the challenges they will
encounter in their future careers.
