However, alongside this conventional approach,PBL is being introduced, offering students hands-on experience in applying theoreticalknowledge to real-world scenarios [4]. PBL encourages critical thinking, interdisciplinarycollaboration, and the development of essential professional skills such as problem-solving,communication, and project management. Prince and Felder present strong evidence thatinductive teaching methods are more effective than traditional deductive teaching methods

Testingfor DL students was usually performed with proctored tests at the student site, since ODU madearrangements with local community colleges, libraries, or other institutions that can administertests and provide proctors. However, laboratory classes always raised more issues for distancelearning due to their hands-on component. The labs were often offered separately, for campusand distance learners, and not in hybrid mode. Assessment was conducted and the results werecompared for the two groups with the results showing similar results or even better results for thedistance learners than for the campus group [13].

While virtual and remote laboratories are not new to engineering education, thereis an increasing need for these alternate methods of teaching due to decreased availability of labtime (from increased undergraduate classes) and the rise of remote higher education programs,such as remote graduate degrees and continuing education [4], [5].In this study, we perform a scoping literature review to explore the tools and labs available toPSET educators. Specifically, we focus on virtual and remote tools that might aid in theeducation of continuing education students and programs with rigid curriculums that do notallow for additional lab time.

This choice could conceivably add a small butindeterminable overestimation of faculty teaching loads.If a professor taught multiple sections of the same class, the faculty was attributed credit for theclass multiple times. In contrast, faculty who taught multiple laboratory sections were onlygiven credit for one section. It was found that some departments offer many laboratory sectionsattributable to multiple faculty members, where it’s unclear how workload is divided. So, if eachlab teaching professor was given credit for each lab course they would have a significantlyhigher credit count than their lecturing peers. These choices could respectively overestimate
