. This programincludes complex tasks such as testing the tensile strength of 3D-printed parts. Students mustiteratively use the results of the tensile strength measurement to adjust the 3D printing parametersettings and improve the quality of the print through multiple cycles. TeleopLab preserves theinteractivity and real-world complexity of these processes, allowing students to conduct multiplecycles of testing and adjustment critical to manufacturing training. The educational impact ofTeleopLab was evaluated using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ),with pre- and post-use data collected from six students. The results showed an improvement of25% in self-efficacy, 27% in motivation to re-engage, and a reduction of 13% in
