Engineering Education, 2023 Achieving Active Learning through Collaborative Online Lab ExperiencesAbstract In engineering education, laboratory learning that is well aligned with core contentknowledge is instrumental as it plays a significant role in students’ knowledge construction,application, and distribution. Learning in laboratories is interactive in nature, and thereforestudents who learn engineering through online platforms can face many challenges with labs,which were frequently documented during the recent pandemic. To address those reportedchallenges, innovative online lab learning modules were developed and learning strategies wereimplemented in five courses in electrical engineering, Circuits I, Electronics I, Electronics II

13 114. Discussion and ConclusionOne-semester virtual REU and two-semester virtual REU had higher perceived learning gains thanthe 10-week summer in-person REU. These higher gains can potentially be attributed to five mainfactors.First, the participants worked directly with the advisors during the virtual program. Compared tothe in-person program, participants mostly worked independently or with graduate students.Second, the virtual program had limited laboratory time on the part of the participants. As a result,students completed more research-oriented tasks (beyond data collection within the labenvironment). In contrast, in the face-to-face summer program, students focused more on datacollection in the laboratory than on

STEM educationkeeps students engaged and results in improved retention of knowledge on topics taught [2], [4].While traditional lectures are still the most common way of teaching, many universities arefocusing more attention on more student-centered activities.Engineering education highly relies on practical applications. Laboratories are the most commonway of practicing engineering theory. Knowledge gained from engineering laboratories is beingused for applying engineering applications to real life design of processes and development ofproducts [5]. Building bridges to transfer theoretical skills to industry applications is important interms of improving future employee quality for [6]. However, the most common pedagogicalmethod is to use
