pairingthoughtful online content with small group, hands-on learning opportunities.The laboratory course used as an example in this section teaches geotechnical engineering fieldsampling techniques and testing methods through interactive exercises. Students are broken intogroups of five and are required to conduct experimentation adhering to standard methods and toproduce professional technical reports conveying the results, analysis and application of thecollected data. The course culminates with a project wherein each group submits soil profilecalculations including bearing capacity and predicted settlement for use in foundation design.

establishing and maintain a teaching presence, setting clearexpectations, proactively taking steps to minimize student resistance, and adopting newengagement strategies gradually.The challenges brought about by the COVID transition are generally exacerbated in civilengineering courses with hands-on and/or laboratory components that cannot be readilyreplicated remotely. A survey of transportation engineering faculty in the United States [6] foundthat a small fraction (22%) held laboratory courses remotely during the pandemic. However, thestudy was not clear if this meant that the laboratory component for the remaining courses wereeliminated altogether or kept in an in-person format. García-Alberti, Suárez, Chiyón, andMosquera Feijoo [7] documented
traditional in-person instruction. This prompted the faculty to schedule a series offormal discussions throughout the fall term to allow a critical review of the model. Because thisreview of the model was precipitated by the unique environment in which educators foundthemselves, this paper is largely focused on teaching and learning outside of a physicalclassroom or laboratory. 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. Toensure clear understanding, the terms remote, virtual, and online are defined for the purposes ofthis paper in Table 1. It

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

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. Engineering education is often based on precedent; it is slow to accept change, especially relative to liberal arts
