Studentsinteracted with equipment and materials used in the laboratory and were able to experiencepractices as used in real laboratories, focused on two basic scientific fields, mathematics andbiology. The workshops were built in a way that allowed students to apply these basic scienceconcepts to an advanced biology or engineering application (college level), which students hadnot previously studied. The module is organized in three workshops:(1) Functions of human body cells: Students learned the

Thiscourse, titled "Introduction to Engineering Laboratory" aimed to expose students to variousengineering disciplines through hands-on experiments and collaborative projects. The ultimategoal was to foster motivation, build foundational knowledge, and help students make informeddecisions about their future career paths.The course was structured as a rotational program, with students spending three weeks in each offour engineering modules: mechanical, electrical, computer, and civil engineering.
