recent years, there has been a shift of pedagogicalemphasis in engineering away from the laboratory and small group sessions to lecture based andweb-based education [3]. This is thought to be due to several reasons, including larger class sizes,cost of maintenance and upgrading laboratories, and poor alignment of laboratory and lectureoutcomes [4]. On the other hand, students around the world used to learn only theory, which ledthem to have little experience in practicing what is seen in theory [5–9]. According to Shaaban,Practical experience by the hand of theory can be more advantageous for students rather thantheory alone [10]. By interacting with a professor who has had field experience, too, students canbe motivated and have a better

These courses are part of a non-disciplinary engineering program and start second semester sophomore year and continuethrough first semester junior year. The labs are inquiry-based and meant to be completed in oneto two 100-minute lab periods, providing students with multiple distinct problems to addressthroughout the courses.The labs are motivated by design briefs providing a real-world problem.

IntroductionEngineering education faces the continuous challenge of incorporating the latestresearch findings into its curriculum to ensure graduates are well-equipped totackle current and future technological challenges. Traditional methods ofcurriculum development often struggle to keep pace with the rapid advancementof technology and emerging research areas [1, 2]. Current approaches tointegrating research into engineering education primarily involve the introductionof elective courses, predetermined laboratory classes, or the occasional inclusionof term papers from existing courses. However, these methods have limitations,including insufficient coverage of new technologies and the lag in updating coursecontent to reflect the latest research developments

Due to limited capacity, UREs are often competitive and have selection criteriasuch as grades, test scores, and previous experience or performance based in a class [19].In contrast, CUREs have a structured curriculum and are open to a broader range of students,placing higher demands on mentors to guide multiple students [18].
