Coding Club's Impact on Engineering Education

In today's world, technology is advancing really fast, so the integration of coding skills into engineering education has become essential. This paper explores the impact of coding clubs as an innovative pedagogical tool within the context of engineering education. These clubs bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application by providing students with an organized platform on which they can engage in hands-on coding experiences. This paper illustrates the benefits of engaging in coding clubs by doing an in-depth analysis of the events organized and conducting interviews with stakeholders. Some of the events held are code-it-out, face-it-out and codewars coding challenges. These activities demonstrate the benefits of coding clubs in engineering education. Some of the benefits highlighted in this paper include improved problem-solving abilities, increased inter-disciplinary collaboration, and enhanced career readiness. In this, we have presented participant testimonials and empirical proof to demonstrate that coding clubs should be a regular element of engineering courses, helping to produce a new generation of engineers who are fluent in the latest technologies and prepared for careers in the field of engineering.
