technological advancements, driving innovative research, and ensuring thatacademic programs remain aligned with industry demands [6].The field of biological engineering has the potential to make a significant global impact, yet itremains less widely recognized compared to more traditional engineering disciplines. Itsrelevance is steadily increasing as it addresses pressing global challenges related to renewableenergy which is driving innovation and economic growth [7]. Students who have a balance oftechnical skills as well as professional skills (e.g., problem solving, strong communication,teamwork and interpersonal skills) are often better equipped to navigate the competitive joblandscape and find fulfilling roles after graduation [8].One of the key

address complex challengesrelated to environmental management and plant growth technologies. The project provided theplant lab students with a hands-on experience, moving beyond textbooks to tackle real-worldchallenges, from plant selection to pest management.The mechanical design, a key milestone achieved during the project's first phase, involvescreating a structure that can support various plants while offering sufficient space and optimalconditions for growth. This stage focused on ensuring that the design could accommodate thephysical needs of different plant species, including factors such as structural stability, spaceallocation, and environmental exposure. By utilizing advanced engineering principles, the PlantWall system is designed to
