This paper presents our analysis of the Biological Engineering, BiomedicalEngineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Manufacturing workshops, includingpreparation, implementation, survey data, observations, and findings.Workshop ImplementationIn higher education, laboratory exercises are known to play an important role in engineeringeducation [9-11]. They provide the opportunity for students to work on modern machines, and usetools used in industry [12]. The education of students in our university is enhanced by the manyopportunities to learn by doing. As a university, we have modern machines and tools that a girlscout can be exposed to, which provide high value

Hands-on laboratories can aidin illustrating theoretical concepts by working with physical components and measuring tools(e.g., building small circuits and using oscilloscopes). However, these laboratories tend to becarried out in a subsequent semester after the students have finished with the theoreticalfoundations.

Lab Simulations in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.The development of complex-shaped rigid or compliant/soft mechanisms in MATLAB Simulinkpresents significant challenges for undergraduate students. While some engineering programsincorporate MATLAB into introductory programming courses, some disciplines, such ascomputer engineering, robotics, and mechatronics, do not offer dedicated programming courses.Nevertheless, students are often assigned homework and laboratory exercises requiringMATLAB proficiency. As a result, by engaging with MATLAB across sophomore to senior-levelcourses, many students gradually develop competence.In mechanical engineering, students are introduced to programming during their freshman year.However, programming remains
