1938, when the Japanesearmy occupied Tsinghua campus, EAA faculty and students retreated with the entire university tosouthwest China (Kunming), yet most of the laboratory equipment was left behind. When theDepartment of EEA returned to Tsinghua campus in 1946, the Electrical Engineering Buildingremained intact, yet no laboratory equipment was preserved.An option in Aeronautical Engineering was started by Professors S.C. Wang and K.L. Feng, whilethe origin of aeronautical engineering can be traced to Theodore von Kármán’s first visit toTsinghua in 1929, during which he made an unsuccessful pitch of the importance of aviationengineering to Tsinghua leadership. In 1932, aeronautical engineering was introduced to TsinghuaUniversity as a part of

After completing safety training and receiving basic information about lithography,laboratory tools’ use and scientific background of their projects, teachers start their research asmembers of a faculty research group, mentored by a trained graduate student. At the end of theprogram, teachers are expected to prepare and present a scientific poster to summarize theirresearch and a lesson plan that will be implemented during the following school year and submittedto the website Teach Engineering [22]. The lesson plan presentation always registers highattendance from NASCENT faculty and staff, administrators and teachers from the school

shaping a learning process together. In our class, students can either learnfrom us (through lectures) or from other students in class (through group labs/projects). We didalso learn from students sometime. For instance, in the laboratory section of the Probability andStatistics with Application to Computing class, after suggesting the correct theoretical result,some students could write a more efficient Python code in compare with our code to simulate theassigned question. Hence, it is a bidirectional connection between us and students, and betweenstudent to student, rather than a one directional dissemination of knowledge through us as theinstructors.The participation of us, as the instructors, and students in the learning process not only

transition from thetraditional physical laboratory to the online virtual laboratory. Before the pandemic, we alreadygradually adopted more and more virtual labs. Students log in to a virtual environment,consisting of one or more virtual machines, to perform hands-on exercises. They do not need togo to an on-campus lab at a fixed time. Students can do the virtual labs at any place and at anytime. Virtualization makes it possible for students to do some labs which are otherwiseunavailable in a traditional environment. In many courses with a lab component, F2F sectionsand DE sections shared the same virtual lab environment already, making the transition fromface-to-face to online easier.As described in papers previously [3]-[4], different virtual lab

IntroductionMost engineering and computer science faculty members at our public university prefer teaching in aface-to-face format in the classroom instead of teaching virtually. However, during the COVID-19pandemic, the faculty are asked to choose among five teaching modalities that cope with the pandemic.The teaching modalities offered by the university are ‘Traditional Classroom/Laboratory,’ ‘BlendedHybrid,’ ‘Flexible mode,’ ‘Remote Virtual,’ and ‘Online.’It is important to note that a complete learning management system [1] is widely implemented acrossthe

, and creating joints.The end of course survey indicated that students viewed the use of simulation analysis asa critical skill necessary for this course, and expressed that an increased emphasis oncreating simulations was necessary to fully comprehend the software capabilities.The Future in Experiential LearningWith laboratory and facility costs continually rising, true hands-on experiences arebecoming more difficult to deliver in engineering laboratory settings. So, creating asimulated experience for students is “the next best thing to being there”. The problem-based simulation activities still have their limitations because of the difficulty inimplementing the activities in a self-paced classroom situation and the time required forstudents

In particular, games have been shown to bemore effective if they are embedded in instructional programs that include debriefing andfeedback.12 Perhaps the most well-known communication game is the “Who are we?” game,designed around the principles of the Johari Window model developed by Dr. Joseph Luft andDr. Harry Ingham. This model identifies sharing and feedback as the keys to building opencommunication. Open communication leads to a climate of trust and access to untappedpossibilities.13In this

laboratory experiences are less available, including extended school closuresdue to current circumstances or other uncontrollable events, such as natural disasters [7].However, the benefits of these lab kits to grade-school students could extend beyond abnormalcircumstances. They could be used to add increased variety and depth to homework assignments,allowing the educational benefits of lab science to be realized outside of the classroom and thetime and procedural restrictions of in-class labs. Drawing inspiration from the work of Pinnell etal. [8] on engineering challenges for students that utilized fixed sets of materials, the lab kitscould also be tailored to serve as a vehicle for STEM outreach that motivates students to becomemore interested
