test and interpreting the results.Importantly, the course is delivered virtually, which makes the implementation very differentfrom that in an in-person classroom setting. This paper provides a detailed discussion of the virtual laboratory modules added to‘Nondestructive Evaluation of Flaws’. In addition, we report how the changes impacted thestudent learning in Fall 2020 compared to Fall 2019, when the delivery was strictly lecture-based. Finally, we discuss ‘lessons learned’ and modifications planned for the next offerings ofthis class. Our overall assessment results indicate a positive impact of the virtual laboratories on

215 students consented to participate inthe study across two years of data collection. We collected data in two iterations of two coursesthat made specific changes from in-person laboratory experiments to online experimentationthrough simulations.The first course was a one-credit course that serves as an introduction to chemical engineeringand contained primarily students in their first year of college. The first-year students worked ingroups. In 2019, 71 students in 19 groups provided consent and in 2020, 51 students in 13 groupsprovided consent.The second course was a three-credit laboratory course (the first of a four-course laboratorysequence) focused on thermodynamics. This course contained junior chemical engineers whoworked in groups

a textbook while supporting the required learning goals. Additionally, the projectcaptured a range of student feedback. Using this as a basis, additional modifications were madeover the course of a few years. In the summer of 2019, the faculty advisor for the project alongwith other colleagues enrolled in a Faculty Institute for Online Teaching, FIOT.[7] A primaryfunction of the mini-course was to engage with instructional designers and layout a coursebeginning with the outcome objectives and working backwards to accomplish theseobjectives.[8] In the fall 2019 the course developers encouraged the mechanical engineeringdepartment to propose the course to the institute. It subsequently received course approval bythe university faculty. At the

hoursConclusions:This paper presents an effort attempting to prepare College of Engineering and Technology faculty for allthe uncertainties and changes they had to face as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The series ofdiscussions organized by faculty across different departments certainly have helped many facultymembers facing the enormous challenges in multiple facets. The ideas collected from these sessionsparticularly assisted in transitioning essential experiential learning to appropriate contexts in order tocomply with capacity limitations, PPE requirements, and social distancing. Experiential learning wasunderstandably one of the most impacted areas of teaching and learning given all of the constraints.The authors wish such a discussion at an ASEE

theory.Student Learning Approach and Course DevelopmentIn the Summer of 2019 the authors participated in their Center for Advancement of Teaching’ssummer course (re)design program to design their Control Systems and Instrumentation course.During this program, the authors worked through the book, Building a Pathway for StudentLearning [13]. Before this program, the authors approached the course design as “how can wepossibly consolidate all these topics to one course?” The course changed the authors’ narrative to“what do our students look like after they have completed our course? What can they do thatthey could not before taking our course?” From this crucial change in perspective, the authorsbegan to work backwards from a final project, build an
