. Finally, we pilot the forcebalance in an undergraduate mechanical engineering lab setting and find that students are able toexplore the setup, understand the load cell functionality, and use the system to measure drag on asphere. The force balance enables students to gain hands-on learning experience related to bothfluid mechanics and statics, and our user study shows that the force balance is durable throughclassroom use. The low cost, robustness, and high adaptability of the system makes it suitable forincorporating in multiple labs or for allowing student project teams to utilize the system in theirown experiments.1 IntroductionAccess to a wind tunnel enables students to gain real world experience with fluid dynamicsconcepts.

There was a perception that no teamssucceeded by luck, but that success came through hard work and effective collaboration.IntroductionThe value of hands-on experimental laboratories for undergraduate engineering students is widelyrecognized [1–6]. The engineering laboratory has become a focal point for students to connectabstract concepts with hands-on practical investigations. Often, students find hands-on laboratoryexperiences to be of greater interest than lecture-based learning [2]. Educators observe them to beof critical importance for the development of professional self-identity among engineeringstudents, with calls being made

Researchers effectively argue the casefor incorporating practical components into engineering classes, emphasizing the value ofproblem-based or project-based learning (PBL) which aims to bridge theoretical knowledge withreal-world applications [6].Numerous literatures present some innovative designs of hands-on laboratory practice under theengineering course curriculum.

Indeed, the presence of more mechanical ventilators,in addition to therapeutic oxygen, skilled respiration staff, and ICU beds could have reduced the6.8 million COVID related death toll.

Escape rooms use the pedagogical viewpoint of the social-constructivist[5], where learning develops as a result of social interaction and collaboration. Participantsconstruct knowledge by interacting with the puzzles, which may, by design, require collaborationwith other participants. The design of escape rooms often encourages collaboration andcommunication because either the puzzles are complex, benefit from multiple perspectives, orperhaps the puzzles require two or more people to physically interact with an object or set ofobjects.
