unique challenges engineering students face in hands-on courses. To address this gap,this study used a questionnaire to gather engineering students’ perspectives on course design anddelivery. The findings highlight the challenges faced by students in online engineering courseswith hands-on components, such as difficulty in collaborating with peers. To address thesechallenges, recommendations are proposed, such as incorporating virtual and augmented reality(VR/AR) technologies and simulations to enhance the online hands-on component, providingopportunities for students to apply their knowledge in a hands-on setting, and supplementinghands-on components with video lectures and demonstrations. By addressing these challenges,faculty can improve
