Yet, the practicalapplication of these principles and concepts undergoes testing during the design thinking aspectof project or laboratory components within the courses. In addition to this many traditionaluniversity programs need to evolve their teaching methods to equip students with the innovative,creative, and integrated engineering-business skillsets that thrive in today's technology-drivenglobal economy. The entrepreneurial skillset is highly desirable by the companies todayespecially those employed in R&D7,8,9.

Hence, they should be considered during course planning and be evaluated; theadministrative support system has an important role on this aspect. Facilities include theclassrooms where the classes are delivered, laboratories, etc. as well as the environment inthose places (Gupta, 1994). They also include equipment needed such as computers,audio/visual, and lab equipment. Nonetheless, a professor should understand that preparationand enthusiasm are key to teaching; the equipment merely supports it.Learning objectives define specific topics for the learning outcomes that must be achieved.

These two primary factors permit us to try different ways touse time more efficiently and increase student engagement. In this case, we havestudents start with laboratories prior to complete coverage of all the theoreticalbackground and encourage them to find answers from later lectures by first exposingthem to problems associated with experimental results.The hypothesis behind this approach is two-fold: 1) Students, after gettingstraightforward, easy-to-understand, visible results from carefully designed laboratorysessions, will be motivated to learn more; 2) they will become more

This method does not give students the hands-on experience, however. Our solution toaddress the issue of modernization bounded by economics is through using LEGO® bricks.

He also researched the use of advance organizers inteaching and was a strong component of carefully structured learning [7, 8].The use of experimentation to teach, and also the design of a laboratory with hands-on experi-ences that relate to the corresponding class is related to these ideas in several ways. First, in-classexperiences can be considered as a type of advance organizer for the concepts taught in lab. Sec-ond, the hands-on lab experiences helps students tie the concepts to concrete physical phenomenarather than mere abstractions. Finally, the reinforcement of an empirical approach to scientificknowledge underscores the
