. • Implementation: Students completed three brief (300-500 word) reflective pieces that introduced different elements of safety education. Reflective pieces were also positioned as opportunity for students to practice their technical writing – a key learning objective of the course. 1. Review an accident: Students were asked to watch a CSB video “Experimenting with Danger” (CSB, 2011) that described three academic laboratory incidents that resulted in catastrophic outcomes. Students were asked to draw upon their experience and knowledge about safety to reflect on how safety elements (e.g., behavior) common to the three examples contributed to the safety incident. 2.

Due to the imposed COVID-19 restrictions, the second half of the semester across theengineering college was conducted through virtual delivery mode. This included use of videoconferencing for lectures, laboratory classes, and student advising. In the case of lecture classes,the most common way of delivery was through the synchronous virtual instruction, whilelaboratory sessions were a combination of synchronous (e.g

author: mselsaad@uark.eduIntroductionImmersive virtual reality (VR) based laboratory demonstrations have been gaining traction inSTEM education. VR may serve as a valuable tool not just for remote learning but also tobroaden outreach, reduce waste, enhance safety, generate increased interest, and modernizeeducation. VR holds great potential to complement existing education strategies [1, 2]. However,to ensure better utilization of VR-based education, it is pivotal to perform optimizations of VRimplementation, in-depth analyses of advantages and trade-offs of the technology, andassessment of receptivity of modern techniques in STEM education [1, 3, 4].There have been several studies that tested the effectiveness of VR in the educational field

The idea for the project was motivated by the student’s desire to learn more about GSMtechnology and how to apply this type of communication network to an automation or controlsystem. GSM technology is typically not a topic that is discussed in-depth in undergraduatewireless communications courses. The system operates by having the user send a command usingSmall Message

The first challenge was ensuring that every student and teacher had sufficient technologyand internet access to connect. We also had to ensure that the students were sent critical constructionand laboratory materials and were given lists of suggested project materials that they could pick up atlocal stores. The students were engaged in the summer camp classes, presentations, and tours frommorning until night; this presented its own challenges that required balancing engaging classes, well-earned breaks, and social activities.
