Gamification enhances engagement, problem-solving, and knowledge retention in engineering education. This paper explores a bottom-up approach integrating gamification in Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Entrepreneurship, and Biomedical Instrumentation, demonstrating measurable improvements in learning outcomes. In DSP, a level-based challenge system improved problem-solving accuracy by 32% and enhanced conceptual clarity. Entrepreneurship education was gamified using the DISRUPT Idea Marathon, leading to a 65% increase in participation and 82% higher confidence in opportunity identification. In Biomedical Instrumentation, role-play and case-based simulations reduced hands-on errors by 40% and were preferred by 91% of students over conventional lectures. Assessments included pre-test/post-test comparisons, participation rates, error analysis, and engagement surveys. Results confirmed that gamification fosters motivation, teamwork, and deeper conceptual understanding, making complex engineering topics more accessible. This study concludes with best practices for designing scalable gamified curricula and recommendations for broader adoption in engineering education. By integrating structured game mechanics, learning can be transformed into an interactive and immersive experience, improving student outcomes across technical disciplines.
