distribution and management?Literature ReviewEngineering education has seen longstanding benefits of experiential learning for many yearsdespite the traditional lecture-based approaches to teaching and learning where more attention isallotted to the lecturer, giving students limited opportunities to drive their learning process [7].Experiential learning methods, such as field trips, laboratory investigations, and project-basedlearning (PBL), are integrated into engineering curricula to better prepare students for modernindustry demands. These methods not only enhance student engagement and performance butalso help develop essential skills such as communication, teamwork, flexibility, initiative,analytical thinking, and management.

This was found to better prepare students for lectureson new concepts, as well as give instructors more time to teach the new concept in class as theydid not need to review prerequisite knowledge with students [4]. Similarly, another study foundthat having more tutorials or example problems was helpful in engineering students'comprehension of math [12]. Other studies tested new e-learning practices and programs [5], [9-10]. They found that this style of learning was the best alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic;however, it also produced more confusion during certain laboratory activities [5], [10].

Annual expenditures on books ranged from $350 at Worcester PolytechnicInstitute to $2,500 at the University of Iowa.There was also much disagreement among engineering faculty about whether engineeringmaterials should be housed in a library located within the engineering school or in the mainlibrary.
