one week. After the in-class quiz, students complete online pre-lab quizzes to reinforce their understanding of practical and determinative power systemanalysis. During the lab session, students wire the three-phase circuit, measure voltage, current,and power, and participate in a post-lab quiz that examines the three-phase power's conceptualaspects. The final assessment stage evaluates three-phase systems by taking an exam and solvingthe engineering problem.This paper introduces a brief methodology for teaching three-phase systems. It provides analternative secure instructional laboratory approach for students to explore wiring a three-phasesystem comprising three-phase wye and delta load connected systems, with and withouttransmission line

Due to changes in pandemic controlmeasures, each year’s course offering had a different teaching modality: in-person (2019),remote (2020), Hyflex (2021), and in-person / hybrid (2022). Assessment metrics used toidentify the most useful interventions included student surveys, faculty surveys, and directassessment of performance on graded events. The most useful interventions identified includednarrated slideshow presentations, recorded class presentations, and virtual laboratories and fieldtrips. Many of the practices introduced during the remote and Hyflex course offerings, such asthe ability to teach remotely, were beneficial for faculty members and will be carried forward forfuture course offerings.

It should give the student the opportunity to observe phenomena and seek explanations, to test theories and note contradictions, to devise experiments which will yield essential data, and to interpret results. Therefore, laboratories should be used where and only where these aims are being sought. The value of a set
