), computer-based simulationprojects of similar complexities were used to address the same topics.Creative thinking is an important skill needed for modern workplace in engineering and technology fields[3]. Instructors in higher education consider various ways of integrating creativity and innovation into thecourses they teach to better prepare students for their future careers [4]. Study shows that between the twocommonly-used approaches that enhance creativity, i.e., teaching vs. practice creativity, stimulatingcreativity by practices is considered to be more effective [5]. In addition, many professors used project-based learning [6, 7] when trying to foster creativity in their courses [8, 9].Due to robotics’ multi-disciplinary nature, we think

easierjustification of equipment and labor investment costs. Perhaps more importantly, studentsrepeatedly encounter the equipment and explore different portions of the apparatus throughout thecurriculum. Anecdotal feedback from the students on the learning gains from using real hardwareand preparing them for future careers in engineering has been positive. This feedback has beengathered verbally in the lab and through five-year post graduation surveys. Future work mayinclude more formal assessments of this apparatus specifically and an exploration on whetherstudents learn and retain information better through this tiered approach using a modularexperimental apparatus compared to an approach using independent experiments.Bill of MaterialsThe bill of materials

In post-survey, the students are asked to provide their overall satisfaction with modules that include virtual laboratory activities compared to those without. Finally, they are asked to evaluate their interest in NDT and its relevance to their future career.• Targeted quizzes that evaluate the student learning of ET and UT principles and operations and compare the results with the previous offering of the class in Fall 2019, where no virtual or physical laboratory is implemented. The Fall 2019 offering included laboratory visits and demonstrations, but no simulation-based or hands-on experimentation.Assessment Results and DiscussionThe following summarizes the
