environments, various computer technologies are applied including Zoom meetings (especially breakout rooms and meeting recordings), pencasts, online tutorials, discussion boards, etc. Two laboratory design problems dealing with digital logic designs and interfacing of analog sensors are briefly described. In the online lab, students from two different engineering programs (mechatronics engineering and industrial engineering) were paired together using Zoom’s breakout rooms thus engaging in PL. Also, each student was issued a kit of parts necessary for the physical implementation of the lab designs off campus. Student pairs that finished their labs early were required to help other pairs. The instructor would combine pairs using Zoom’s breakout rooms

Whilethere are many fields of study that might lend themselves well to an online modality, Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) faculty in particular have faced the challengeof demonstrating the physical principles of science and engineering virtually [6-8]. The suddenreplacement of experimentation in a physical laboratory with a virtual experience has caused manyfaculty members to rethink their pedagogical approaches to laboratory technique, data analysis,and instrumentation procedures. This has required modification to the traditional, “hands-on”teaching many laboratory instructors implement with their students, to a more self-guidedapproach to learning [9,10].

This particular experiment was based on similar modulesdeveloped when CU Smead Aerospace dramatically changed to include extensive hands-onlearning and teaching in the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory [3]. The pedagogicalpurpose is to enhance students overall understanding of fundamental engineering conceptsthrough experiential learning while using up to date hardware and software in order to maintainpace with current technology. The use of this particular experiential learning apparatus in alecture/lab connected environment builds upon an extensive amount of literature in activeexperiential learning [4], [5] and has repeatedly been shown as an effective strategy to enhancelearning

experiments.While successful in many aspects, these experiments seem to be somewhat ‘canned’ and do notallow for much creative or open-ended experimentation. In addition, these kits are billed asinexpensive, but cost $65 without a return label and $110 with one [8]. Previous authors haveremarked on the difficult logistics in managing kits which must be returned [2]. Other non-electrical kits have been developed for K-12 fluids and heat transfer topics, or for statics for usein a flipped classroom.
