However, despite their increasingadoption in laboratories and classrooms, there is significant variability in the technologies andpedagogical strategies used across different teaching kits. Furthermore, their overalleffectiveness in achieving specific learning outcomes remains underexplored, highlighting acritical need for further investigation in this area. This systematic review adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews andMeta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to comprehensively analyze the current landscape ofteaching kits in biomedical engineering education.

However, it can be difficult to impart the criticality of such topics toundergraduate students in the early years, especially to Freshman students overwhelmed withnew experiences and responsibilities. Even students who successfully learn these skills willquickly forget them, inhibiting the synthesis of those skills with future lessons.An entertaining, hands-on laboratory activity centered on the quadrant tool from antiquity can beeffective in teaching those crucial skills. The Mariner’s Quadrant is a historical nautical tool thatnavigators used to measure celestial body altitude, the forerunner to modern sextants, surveyingequipment and remote measurement devices.

In a high-tech laboratory, there is the potential forstudents assume that these principles only exist in such a setting and are beyond them—thatcellphone development is only for tech companies, yet one day that could be them.The current literature reinforces our observation of student deficiencies. Student difficulties inlearning from these lab experiences are partly due to their lack of observation of the worldaround them through free play (see Rosen [3]) Combined with the rise of the impacts of mobiletechnology on attention, memory, and delay of gratification, we see these issues becoming moresignificant

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the discipline of manufacturingprocesses and the study of material properties in material science.Material properties lie at the heart of many engineering disciplines, as materials are whatengineers incorporate in their disciplines. The study of material properties can be greatlyaccelerated in engineering courses by integrating a hands-on approach to the creation and testingof laboratory experiments through inquiry-based experiential learning. This approach will beachieved by allowing students to create, design, test, and write their own laboratory
