Engineering Education, 2021 Virtual lab modules for undergraduate courses related to building energy systemsAbstractBackground: In engineering education, hands-on laboratory experience is essential to enhancingstudents’ practical skills such as conceptual understanding and problem solving skills. However,many students are not able to participate in practical activities (e.g., laboratory experiments) dueto inaccessible or unavailable “brick and mortar” laboratories, especially when most universitieshave currently adopted online instruction while students are sheltered at home due to the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic. Purpose: This paper presents a library of virtual laboratory modulesexpanded and enriched from our

This not only increases general confidence in the ability of the devices to beimplemented into hazardous systems, but also allows for failure analysis to be iterated on infuture designs. Educating students on the importance of reliability testing can be difficult due to thetypical ways students are exposed to devices and systems in classrooms and laboratories.Students, especially at the undergraduate level, are often exposed to devices/systems just afterlearning about them. Laboratory exercises are often geared towards normal system performanceand rarely contain fault analysis. When fault analysis is examined in a classroom environment
