Evencomparative course grades and course evaluations are supplied to compare any major up-tickor down-tick from the pre-COVID era. Based on the survey and grades/course evaluationscomparisons, it is concluded that the shift to pure online teaching was successful.Introduction:Online learning has been going on since at least 1982 [1]. This educational delivery mode hasonly been strengthening and diversifying since (in terms of features, capabilities and content).Although the advent of

accreditationvirtual-site visit compared to a physical on-site visit. IntroductionIn 2009, the ABET’s Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) started a process to review andrevised Criterion 3-Student Outcomes (a-k) of the general accreditation criteria which was developedin late 1990s and implemented in 2000. After an extensive review process, in 2015 the EACrecommended changes to both Criterion 3-Student Outcomes and Criterion 5-Curriculum1-3. Thechanges, included: 1. expansion of definition of terminologies used in the general criteria, 2. changing student outcomes a through k into student outcomes 1 through 7, and 3. clarifying the statements in criterion 5 by stating that it requires a minimum of 30

Using minimal resources and with minimalprerequisites, students were exposed to the compromises involved in the design of a real product 1 .In another example, Latcha and Oakley 2 describe a Capstone course where students design andconstruct toys or games. This course exposes students to the severe economic constraints oneffective toys and gives them the opportunity to have their designs presented to industry.Both of these project examples involve teaching practices that are recognized throughout thegreater community of educators as high-impact practices 3 .

In theend, a total of 28 out of 39 surveys were successfully received.The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the students to complete. Thequestionnaire was carefully crafted so that only important questions regarding lab environment,simulation tools, and designed labs, were included. The first part of the questionnaire dealt withthe lab environment. The second section concerned with Packet Tracer. The last section focusedon Riverbed Modeler. The types of questions included in the survey were Likert-scale and open-ended questions.Figure 1 showed the survey result of lab environment, which revealed that a large majority ofrespondents expressed a

due to the lack of hands-on activities [1]. One of the reasonsbehind this waning of interest is the missing connection between theory and applications. Withoutestablishing this link, EMF courses fail to attract and engage engineering students.Teaching EMF requires special care and attention from the instructor. Traditional EMF class tendsto concentrate on abstract theory and numerical analysis. A lecture based engineering coursefocusing on legacy materials is not an effective style of learning since engineering students areadopted to hands-on activities and learn better from course related activities and sensoryinformation [2] [3].
