The program begins tointroduce students to laboratory research from their first year, while providing an environment that enables them to pursue cutting-edge research, doing so directly underthe guidance of a supervisor, advisers, and graduate students. To ensure students gain the deep understanding needed for advanced research whileengaged in RBL, they will also study foundational natural science courses, requiredspecialized subjects, and other disciplines.

[6] present a set of laboratory activities using the Static Stability Factor (SSF), aconcept commonly employed in vehicle design to establish the circumstances under which avehicle will roll over (tipping) or spinout (slipping).

They found the SSFconcept easy to comprehend for first-year students.According to Ha and Fang [7], spatial abilities are crucial for learning engineering mechanics,yet often overlooked by engineering educators. They suggest encouraging sketching to enhancespatial skills instead of solely relying on figures from problems. Mueller et al. [8] also highlightthe significance of
