Course content and deliverymethods should be structured to meet the demands and challenges of such a dynamic,interdisciplinary and complex applied science field. Laboratory work is a critical component ofthe engineering education, and a core component of technical programs. Unfortunately, in therenewable energy case, the equipment is expensive, in terms of acquisition and maintenance,requiring adequate space and utility access. To cope with such challenges we are proposing inthe next academic year to develop a virtual renewable energy laboratory, consisting of

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

InElectrical Engineering (EE) curriculums, the majority of programs now include laboratory workonly in introductory courses such as circuits and logic design [1]-[3]. Advanced courses such asElectronics II, Communications, and others have lost their labs due to the curriculum changesand the

Meaningful and consequential learningOur focus of curriculum reform has been towards shifting activity to meaningful, consequentiallearning in activity-based studio and laboratory courses to better prepare students to connect theknowledge they are learning in school to the messy, open-ended work they will encounter aspracticing engineers (NAE, 2020). Meaningful, consequential learning centers on work thatpositions students on teams in the role of engineers where they need to identify core foundationalprinciples as conceptual tools to progress (Johri & Olds, 2011).

Inaddition to the lists and maps constructed in the previous part, a special map was constructed forstudents who are connected via mutually enrolled non-lecture courses. These could be tutorial orlaboratory sections. The rationale behind removing lectures is to reduce the density of theconnections in the network. There would be more opportunities for cohort-based collaborationsin tutorial and laboratory sections, as opposed to during lectures. Hence, effective cohorts couldstill be formed by disregarding lecture sections.Using the two sets of constructed lists and connectivity maps, for students connected by allcourses

All too often, however,undergraduate laboratory classes fall short of enhanced learning and are instead more notable forstudent dissatisfaction and/or frustration [1], [2], [3]. There are several reasons for this problem.First, organized laboratory classes are often used to meet numerous student outcomes such asthose comprising ABET student outcomes (1) – (7) [4]. Second, organized laboratory classes areoften taught separately from theory classes, leading to a disconnect from pre-requisite coursesand uneven understanding among the student cohort. Third, organized lab classes often involveteamwork, without specific instruction or guidance on how to work effectively, how to divide uptasks
