The objective is to equip students with practical knowledge in utilizingand applying modern engineering tools and techniques necessary for engineering practicethrough hands-on laboratory experiments. To achieve this objective, students are required toundertake a research project where they read a technical paper and replicate a portion of the workusing the tools they have learned in the course.There is existing literature that explores the incorporation of published primary/technical papersinto undergraduate education across various disciplines [2]~[6], and all have shown positiveimpacts on student
