distribution and management?Literature ReviewEngineering education has seen longstanding benefits of experiential learning for many yearsdespite the traditional lecture-based approaches to teaching and learning where more attention isallotted to the lecturer, giving students limited opportunities to drive their learning process [7].Experiential learning methods, such as field trips, laboratory investigations, and project-basedlearning (PBL), are integrated into engineering curricula to better prepare students for modernindustry demands. These methods not only enhance student engagement and performance butalso help develop essential skills such as communication, teamwork, flexibility, initiative,analytical thinking, and management.
