laboratory education involve two commonly used modes of laboratory:face-to-face and remote. The effectiveness and suitability of a mode for laboratory work forfirst-year students in terms of better learning of practical skills depend to some extent on theform of the interactions that are possible in the two laboratory modes. In other words, theskills attainable through laboratory education are direct consequences of the interactions thatoccur in laboratory work.There are basically three types of interactions in the laboratory: student-student, student-instructor and student-equipment [1]–[4]. The level of these interactions determines thestudent satisfaction and their engagement in the laboratory. In remote laboratories, studentsinteract with their

Thismodel considers two groups of variables to moderate the effect of cognitive moral developmenton ethical behavior: (1) individual variables and (2) situational variables. Ego strength (strengthof self-regulating skills), field dependence (i.e., the degree one depends on external referent toguide one's behavior), and locus of control (i.e., the degree one perceives one has control onone's life events) are the three individual variables.

Functional modeling, a qualitative modeling approachto represent systems through their transformations of energy, material, and information flows, isused to demonstrate this functional similarity by mapping components in each system to acommon function. One system, a household hair dryer, was chosen for its familiarity to students,while the other, a car radiator, was chosen to be intentionally less intuitive for the students. Keyquestions in this research were as follows: (1) would students have a significantly betterunderstanding of the more common hair dryer than the car radiator? (2) And, would students’understanding of the two systems change following learning functional modeling? This researchprovides a starting point

It is found that Statics has the largest impact on theacademic success of struggling mechanical engineering students. While some studentscan overcome poor grades in Physics, struggles in Physics often foretell continuedproblems throughout the mechanical engineering curriculum.1.
