Engineering Education, 2021 Virtual lab modules for undergraduate courses related to building energy systemsAbstractBackground: In engineering education, hands-on laboratory experience is essential to enhancingstudents’ practical skills such as conceptual understanding and problem solving skills. However,many students are not able to participate in practical activities (e.g., laboratory experiments) dueto inaccessible or unavailable “brick and mortar” laboratories, especially when most universitieshave currently adopted online instruction while students are sheltered at home due to the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic. Purpose: This paper presents a library of virtual laboratory modulesexpanded and enriched from our

of instruction and the student engagement. The structures capstone was in a studio format toreplicate the professional industry experience. The studio was variant of the laboratory classroom[32]. The studio instruction facilitated the classroom application of the smaller individualstructural engineering problems combining into a comprehensive solution. All the students wereworking in the classroom while I met with smaller groups and individuals.The course materials for the introductory courses supported each learning objective. Thematerials included written narratives, video summaries, and handwritten lecture notes.Nomenclature and formula sheets and practice problems and solutions supported the objectiveswith numerical outcomes. The course

She served as the director of the National Science Foundation-funded Tigers ADVANCE project, which focuses on improving the status of women and minority faculty at Clemson. Previously, Dr. Atamturktur was the director of the National Science Foundation-funded National Research Traineeship project at Clemson, with funding for over 30 doctoral students and a goal of initiating a new degree program on scientific computing and data analytics for resilient infrastructure systems. In addition, Dr. Atamturktur was the director of two separate Department of Education

engineering, there were concerns about how social distancing, especially in laboratory exercises,would affect accreditation. The engineering and technology accrediting board, ABET, issued informationrelatively early about changes due to COVID-19. ABET determined short-term changes due to COVIDwould not need to be reported (ABET, 2020). In addition to concerns about having in-person classes andlab exercises, another concern expressed was how to communicate online in ways that are as effectiveas in person. Universities were prompted to provide additional faculty support for teaching and someeven identified some “hacks” that could be used for a graphical interface (University of Nevada Reno,2020). Other lessons learned include better ways to grade
