scientific equipment, technology, and instrumentation,following technical protocols and demonstrating proficiency in physical laboratory techniques [2]are widely regarded as challenging to teach outside a traditional laboratory setting [3]. At-homelab kits are emerging instructional tools currently being used to address this challenge in a varietyof scientific courses, such as general biology [4], physics [5], chemistry [6], and engineeringcontrols [7]. To provide students enrolled in an online section of a cell and tissue engineering labcourse with hands-on activities for learning laboratory techniques, we prepared a kit containingthe equipment and supplies needed to perform various activities remotely. The overarching goalof the class is to

Paper ID #33665WIP: Biomedical Sensors Laboratory Activities Using Labview andAdaptation for Virtual InstructionProf. Benjamin Hawkins, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo My professional interests focus on the development and use of microsystems (biosensors, microcon- trollers, etc) to matters of human health. Primarily this is focused on microfluidics, but also ranges from wearable devices to laboratory equipment. Applications range from cell measurements to ecological ques- tions. Educationally, I am focused on developing courses and content that connects theory to technology in practice, with an

The Covid-19 pandemic decreased the period for this transition to 2.5 years.Rapid conversion of courses is an un/fortunate side effect that the Covid-19 global pandemic hadon academia. Zoom based dialogue, instruction, and teaching became necessity. [1] While eachdegree program and course comes with challenges, biomedical engineering laboratories andcourses have their own due to the varied natures of biomedical engineering curriculums. [2]Biomedical engineering laboratories have challenges as discussed by Lancashire et al.

This island featured a virtual laboratory with multiple floors and exhibits such as ACgenerators and DC motors. For creating detailed laboratory exhibits Second Life might be anideal platform. However, users must download software and register for an account, and thecreation of scenes is a labor-intensive task for the instructor. For simple, ready to use scenes tohost small group discussions Mozilla Hubs is a more efficient platform for both instructors andstudents.Figure 1: Mozilla Hubs poster session example.

Sighting this demand,engineering educators around the world are now making efforts to change the curriculum byadding an EM based course or incorporating associated modules into their courses. Students canexplore EM concepts related to real-world social issues and expand ‘professional skills’ such asrecognizing opportunities, creativity, communication, leadership and adaptability throughexperiential learning modules. Such modules can be easily integrated into design-based coursesas well as laboratory courses to provide students with a hands-on experience and expose them toopen-ended questions. However, it is
