Surveying LabAbstractIn 2020, the COVID pandemic forced educators to pivot to an online teaching modality in themiddle of spring semester. In preparation for a summer offering of a surveying and geomaticsclass, faculty chose to develop a virtual laboratory that could provide a quality, virtual learningexperience for students that would fully meet the course learning outcomes. The resulting virtuallaboratory centered on a series of videos that put the student in a second-person perspective of anote-taker on a survey crew. The modules built around these videos not only allowed for a fullyvirtual delivery of the laboratory, with students participating from as far away as Saudi Arabia,they also ensured full participation of every student, something

This video was shown to the students after (and within the sameweek) the students participated in an in-person laboratory class period where the studentsexperimentally measured water quality parameters. Prior to reviewing this module, the studentswere briefly introduced to the various water quality parameters that can be measured in the fieldand the advantages of field testing. Two additional videos were created to introduce students totwo topics relevant to water and wastewater treatment, including nutrients and bacteria.

: thetechnical communications course, laboratory courses, and a series of project-based courses. Thetechnical communications course was changed to a rotating face-to-face model, for which lecturevideos and assigned activities were performed on out-of-class days and in-class days were reservedfor workshops. Workshops replaced the traditional guided learning activity approach with activelearning in a think-pair-share format. Students were given strong and weak examples of writing tobe able to give feedback to their peers and improve their own writing prior to submission. Studentsworked on improving their formal written assignments, and therefore improved their capacity fortechnical writing, during class rather than submitting their first writing

Instead, the course was taught using normal methods andtechniques, except for the transition to a hybrid format. Lectures were performed synchronouslyonline, while field-based laboratory activities that were intended to reinforce the concepts taughtin the lecture were performed in-person. Due to social distancing regulations, instructions on thelaboratory activities were provided virtually (instead of in-person in prior semesters) andimmediate assistance was only available through phone calls or video conferencing.

Engineering faculty have many responsibilities, including, but not limited to: teaching a heavy course load, laboratory research, writing publications, applying for funding, attending conferences, managing laboratory materials and safety, mentoring students, networking with industry, and professional development. Therefore, professors’ time is often limited, and professors may not see the value in adjusting a preexisting course. 5.

This new environment may be described as remote teaching, distanceeducation, virtual instruction, or online learning. As our faculty were new to any of thesemodalities, we used these terms interchangeably but soon learned that they are each unique.
