Laboratory CourseAbstractLifelong learning is a part of student outcome in ABET ETAC in Criterion 3 (2017-2018, 2018-2019) as “self-directed continuing professional development”. Lifelong learning Criterion 3 (i) inABET EAC 2019-2020 is mapped to the new Criterion 3 #7 as “an ability to acquire and applynew knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies”. For some instructors oflaboratory courses, it can be challenging, vague, or difficult to measure this student outcome. Avariety of definitions was found that related to continuing learning and professional developmentafter graduation. The definitions vary enough to make it difficult for instructors to developcurriculum and assessment tools. The value of this paper to the laboratory
AeromechanicsII. AAE 20401 is an aerospace structural mechanics lab course for second-year students wherethey had the opportunity to use the Virtual Lab software. When implementing the Virtual Labs,we characterized the content, assessment, and pedagogy of the course under the BackwardCourse Design Model to identify how the Virtual Lab software could be integrated into thecoursework. After a year of getting feedback on the software from the students and investigatingthe pedagogical approaches on how to use it, we introduced a new format on the use of thevirtual lab in Fall 2019. This paper describes the latest version of the lab course with theintegration of the Virtual Lab software. The curriculum design, presented in this paper, is auseful reference for

Onesuch industry facing imminent shortage of graduates in its workforce is aerospaceengineering (AE).The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics (2019) estimates the employment growth of AE at 7% for the next decade which is at par with other occupations. The growth in the sector isprimarily based on high-end technology jobs such as computational fluid dynamics testingand redesigning aircrafts for better efficiency. Predicting employment growth tends to beconservative. For example, the predicted employment numbers in AE
