The course met for two 50-minute lectures sessions as well as a110 minute laboratory session each week. Students in the laboratory session were split betweenexperimental facilities using for performing the experiments and computational classrooms tofacilitate data analysis and report writing. In order to enable this simultaneous approach to thelaboratory aspects of the course, four fourth-year students were employed as teaching assistantsfor the course, supported by the Lafayette College Division of Engineering.

The UnitedNations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines OER’s as“teaching, learning and research materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside inthe public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use,adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.”, [4]. However, in 2016 astudy by Seaman & Seaman [5] found that only 9% of the overall textbook market wasrepresented by OER textbooks. Furthermore, these resources usually were found for introductorymulti section courses such as math and physics [6], while the availability of engineering upperlevel OER titles is scarce [7].

Knowledge of engineering materials iscritical for engineers working in these industries, so in 2015 the university's chancellor becameinterested in starting a materials program. Academic departments were asked to provideinformation and recommendations. As a metallurgist, I prepared a short report outlining fivepossible programs which could be created to satisfy industry's needs: ● A certificate program for materials laboratory technicians

This change has posed many challenges with both thepedagogical methodology for instructors and the learning environment for students. Moreover,this transition has prompted the emergence of new virtual instructional techniques. Due to theextenuating circumstance of the pandemic, the author’s institution introduced a wide range ofvirtual teaching modes while holding a limited number of face-to-face classes. Among thesecourses, Introduction to Graphics is considered to be a critical course that requires in-personlearning strategies, as it includes manual drafting with hands-on exercises.

This disconnectoccurred because the personnel on the IT accessibility team has little to no teaching experienceand no knowledge of the practicalities of what happens in an MET course, especially one withhands-on laboratory components. A major concern of the faculty in the Penn State Behrend METprogram was based on the first line of the official EEAAP document that indicated it was alegally binding document. Faculty were hesitant to simply create a bare-bones document thatcould be misinterpreted later, or to create a plan that was not actually feasible to implement if theoccasion occurred that a visually impaired or blind person chose to major in MET on theBehrend campus. Therefore, it was almost entirely up to the MET faculty

and execute a research project in the theme, “The campus as an energy-efficiency and alternative-energy laboratory.”The burgeoning term “energy literacy” suggests that people exhibit varying degrees of energyknowledge. Many may not fully understand the differences between a BTU and a Calorie, a Wattand a VA, what a KWh is on their electric bill, why there are different grades of gasoline (and what“octane” means), and the foundational place in industrialized civilization of the heat engine. Thus,the central – but not sole – aim of the Energy ELG is to teach the science of energy and therefore topromote energy literacy.

With regard to the lab courses, finding appropriate resources, delivering clearinstructions, and creating labs without being physically present are the crucial issues.The purpose of this paper is to share our experiences in meeting learning objectives whileteaching lab courses virtually. The learning objectives impacted by the transition will behighlighted, following by a discussion on the affected student outcomes.
