experiments and whetherthey agree with the hypothesis: “Laboratory experiments help students understand theoreticalconcepts.” The data were obtained from students of two different institutions and covereddifferent courses taught over six years, which showed a consistency in student perceptions.KeywordsLaboratory, student perceptions, experiments, practical skills.IntroductionEngineering courses focus on practical learning through laboratory experiments. This isespecially true for undergraduate courses. Laboratory experiments open the door to learningtheoretical concepts through the practical skills required by their major. Soft skills ofcommunication and teamwork are also taught through laboratory experiments which helpstudents learn how to work in

Learning through Escape: Developing Collaboration, Communication, and Confidence in a Biomedical Engineering Laboratory Escape RoomAbstract: Escape rooms are growing in popularity in higher education because they can be used topromote hands-on technical skills and soft skills like communication and collaboration. Inaddition, they provide an opportunity for students to develop mastery in these skills and improveconfidence. This work describes the use of a laboratory-based escape room to test the teamworkability of upper-level undergraduate student groups while employing technical skills and problemsolving in a laboratory environment. Students use ultrasound, mechanical tests frames,spectrophotometers
