STEM educationkeeps students engaged and results in improved retention of knowledge on topics taught [2], [4].While traditional lectures are still the most common way of teaching, many universities arefocusing more attention on more student-centered activities.Engineering education highly relies on practical applications. Laboratories are the most commonway of practicing engineering theory. Knowledge gained from engineering laboratories is beingused for applying engineering applications to real life design of processes and development ofproducts [5].
