areultimately asked to evaluate the performance of the meter regarding the overall energy loss of themeter.IntroductionIn the field of engineering, it is important for students to understand the engineering paradigmthat moves from design, to simulations, and finally to physical testing. Simulations are animportant tool to initially evaluate a design since they are relatively low cost compared to lab orfield tests and facilitate quicker iteration [1]. The simulations can then be used to develop atesting plan that can be implemented in the laboratory to complete the evaluation of a design.Students must also be trained to recognize that simulations are not reality and thus experimentalresults might differ from simulation results. When results from a

of typical undergraduateelectrical and computer engineering (ECE) programs consist of technical classes that teachstudents the fundamentals of their field. Project-based learning that engages students in moreauthentic applications of knowledge is often absent from these courses. These years have notableattrition, but relevant design projects can motivate engineering students by reminding them whatthey enjoy about the field and showing them that their work can benefit society [1], [2]. In thispaper, we describe development of a project in a fourth-semester ECE laboratory design coursethat engages students in designing an autonomous tractor. This project was created to use skillsacross first- and second-year courses to make a challenging but

. These types of videos vary from general topic overviews to coursespecific content. Certain types of courses and content have long been identified as appropriatefor online delivery, like software-based courses. However, instructors have been slow to adoptonline delivery for hands-on laboratory exercises or architectural studios.Because of this post-pandemic paradigm shift, there is an opportunity to identify the associatedshift in student perceptions. A survey instrument was developed to assess student perceptionsabout supplemental instructional videos. All of the students surveyed are enrolled in courseswhich provide supplemental instructional videos through their LMS. The survey was not limitedto perceptions about current courses. Students

As the goal is toexpose students to the tools they will need to solve actual problems, these classes are centeredaround team projects in a laboratory setting, with some lecture delivery in a supporting function.Physical distancing rules, as well as reduced/remote access of laboratories and equipment duringthe COVID-19 pandemic, posed significant challenges to the continued delivery and greatlyhindered achievement of the stated educational outcomes of these classes.

, introductory lab courses play a crucial role in exposingstudents to the breadth of topics, experimental techniques, and apparatuses in the field. They haveplayed a long-standing role in rounding out the practical portion of an engineer’s education [1].These introductory courses are active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem-based in their verynature [2]. Students are in a hands-on laboratory space, working to collect data necessary to testan experimental hypothesis. Prince [2] defines active learning as “any instructional method thatengages students in the learning process." Laboratory classes certainly fall under thatumbrella.The goal of active learning in a mechanical engineering laboratory context is multi-fold. Thecourse should teach students

dimensionless drag (i.e., a dragcoefficient) and a collection of variables that relate fluid properties, geometry, and object speed(aka the Reynolds number). But students at home cannot easily measure drag forces (or infer themfor a wide range of objects and velocities). As another example, the results of deformation ofdroplets as they impact surfaces can be presented in a universal way using dimensionless numbers(dimensionless deformation and Weber number) [6]; however, this phenomenon requiresequipment beyond the means of even a typical undergraduate teaching laboratory! A phenomenonwhich is accessible with limited materials, and which can serve as a dimensional analysis example,is that of the motion of a heaving buoy. In addition, there is a simple

PE faculty members continued using traditional teachingmethods, such as backboard and PowerPoint presentations including graphs and sketches. In 21 century, tremendouschanges have been made in teaching PE classes. Almost every petroleum engineering program started developing andusing laboratories to conduct experiments that help students’ attainment of course objectives, such as core, fluid, anddrilling labs. Since 2014, Bob L. Held department of petroleum engineering has adopted the use of visualizationmodels in teaching. More than seven lab-scale models were built and used in multiple PE classes.

Students can obtain their own embedded system boardand use it with this essential laboratory kit. In the Fall semester of 2021, some of the highereducation institutions returned to the in-person format of the course delivery for most of the classes.Texas A&M University at College Station has offered in-person classes in the Fall semester of 2021.There have been several efforts in readjusting to in-person learning due to the several changes
