continue to adapt.IntroductionIn March of 2020, due to growing concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, universities acrossthe country shut down all in-person interactions, causing an abrupt shift from an in-personlearning experience to a remote and virtual experience relying heavily on technology. Instead ofmeeting in lecture halls, office hours, and dining halls, students and instructors connected viavirtual learning platforms, email, and video conferencing services like Zoom. The complicatedcircumstances of quarantines, infections, and new responsibilities and fears meant interactionsbetween students and faculty and among students were no longer a convenient walk away, butnow being made across states, countries, and time zones.In engineering

have already looked at the use of physics education technology, aka PhET, providedevidence that computer simulations are beneficial to learning STEM-based content (e.g., Bandoyet al., 2015; Zacharia & Anderson, 2003). Prior research also showed that simulationexperiments could enhance college students' learning as much as hands-on experiments(Finkelstein et al., 2005). However, there have been few efforts to use simulations to facilitatethe integration of engineering design with the scientific inquiry for non-STEM majors. In thisvein, our study discusses the importance of interactive simulations for teaching and learning achallenging STEM-based domain – physics – specifically for the college of education students(e.g., Koponen &

the database, accessed Fall 2018), and organized the results by the SCImagoJournal Rank (SJR) score. The SJR score is a measure of a journal’s impact and influence,known as “prestige”, by tabulating the number of times articles within a specific journal are citedwithin other publications across a specific timeframe. The SJR score was useful for the purposesof this research because higher SJR scores are a way to indicate relative importance of a journalwithin its respective community and field [17] [18]. We collected journals listed within the firstquartile rankings, and filtered journal titles based on association with the following subject areas:Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematic, Science/Math Education, TeacherEducation/Learning

While augmented and virtual-reality solutions are a promising method,the research discussed here required desktop and mobile-friendly technologies to be accessiblefor all students and thus relied heavily on video and interactive computer platforms.PedagogyAt the beginning of the project, particular care was taken to align the learning objectives with thegoals of the course in terms of their level on Bloom’s Taxonomy.

the LEGO Group’s philosophy of “learning through play” [2].Despite their successful adoption in technical classrooms, LEGO products and practices have notbeen widely included in non-technical engineering classroom settings to facilitate students’understanding of social and ethical aspects of engineering design. Perspectives in science,technology, and society (STS) and engineering ethics are critical for students to learn duringtheir undergraduate years so they can integrate them into professional practice. As DeborahJohnson and Jameson Wetmore argue, “In building (or contributing to the building of)sociotechnical systems, engineers are building society. . .
