GIFTS: Bridging Engineering Education with a Cost-Effective Classroom Kit: A Hands-On Approach to Active LearningIntroductionMany first-year engineering students struggle to see the connections among their coursework,often perceiving subjects as isolated. Research shows that integrated curricula not only enhanceconceptual understanding but also improve student retention [1], [2]. While integration is moreachievable in the first year due to common courses, extending this approach across the curriculumfrom freshman to junior year remains a significant challenge.This paper presents a cost-effective, interdisciplinary learning kit that supports active learningthrough hands-on engagement and cross-course alignment. The kit

Our findings suggest that this can be attributed to severalfactors, such as the fact that virtual machines generally benefit from more efficient resourcemanagement, even when hosted on identical hardware. Hypervisors running there can allocateresources dynamically, minimizing delays in processing. Furthermore, they often run with aminimal OS setup, reducing
