At the program level, aggregating both institutions, no significant differences betweenundergraduate and graduate students’ experiences were found for any of the measured outcomes.Based on these findings, recommendations are made for improving student perception of andexperience with remote teaching and learning. Regarding the conduct of remote laboratories, theresults suggest, consistently across institutions, a

the end of the class period. The laboratory leader must have a plan. Using pre-identified timing way-points is a helpful technique to ensure one stays on track.A specific goal of using the power demonstrator board is to provide students with a baselineunderstanding of how the various components help keep them safe. Emphasis is placed onmultimeters and outlet testers to check if components are energized or if wiring is incorrect.These basic tools are generally available at any major home improvement retailer or hardwarestore. Though not a specific learning objective, teaching students to verify the correctness of theelectrical distribution systems in their home or workplace can ultimately save lives and/orproperty damage caused by improperly

engineering courses.Approximately 75 students take the course annually. Most are civil engineering majors atUSAFA, but approximately one-third of the students come from other military colleges andReserve Officer Training Corps programs from around the country. The course includes fieldtrips, lab exercises, and hands-on activities intended to give students a practical frame-of-reference that is helpful in subsequent analysis and design courses.Most activities consist of some pre-reading, a short classroom lesson, the hands-on portion, andfinally a quiz or laboratory practical exercise. Both the quizzes and practical exercises serve aslow stakes assessments. Faculty develop the course materials and teach the classroom lesson,but to execute the hands-on

. This falls in linewith what Ken Bain discusses in his book, What the Best College Teachers Do, where he statesthat, “highly effective teachers design better learning experiences for their students in partbecause they conceive of teaching as fostering learning” [8]. The goal is to leverage somethingfamiliar within the classroom, like a home’s energy system, in order to create a relatableexperience that helps build upon course concepts. The new power demonstrator board isspecifically designed to function in any classroom, office, or laboratory space, utilizing 120Vsingle phase power instead of three-phase power as in the original version. This allowsinstructors more flexibility in where the lesson is presented, significantly increasing the

These effects have complex dependencies with the geometry, shape,configuration, and material properties of the systems under study and the types, magnitudes,and mechanisms of the loads applied. Understanding and learning these relationships requiresa strong combination of spatial imagination, physical perception, and structural mechanicslaws. Traditional models for course delivery in structural mechanics rely on lectures describingthese behaviors and the underlying structural mechanics concepts using classroom illustrationsand demonstrations of members under loads in a structural laboratory. While conductinglaboratory experiments is often considered an essential method for teaching structuralmechanics theory [1], substantial

In the former situation, many educational institutions can afford lab equipment such as electroniccomponents and large laboratory workplaces. However, there are instances where purchasing expensive equipment for learningis not a viable option. In the latter case, learning about the geological features of a place such
