Finally, inKoretsky (2020), we show how one of the Interactive Virtual Laboratories that we use in studioallowed students to make meaning of the difference between reaction rate and equilibrium byexploring their dependence on temperature. We have also reported on the influence of COVIDnecessitated remote teaching on student learning practices in a studio course (Koretsky, 2020).We have also used activity theory to examine co-curricular engagement in engineering clubs(Hinkle and Koretsky, 2019).

Accordingly, during the two long semesters in 2022, we tested ourinnovative online lab teaching strategies in the laboratory sessions with the following activelearning strategies in the laboratory sessions by a) developing and implementing open-endeddesign experiences into lab work, b) establishing teamwork in online labs, c) creating an onlinelearning community and to overcome isolation, and d) incorporating pre-lab simulations and pre-lab video demonstrations. These core lab learning strategies were applied in five EE courses:Circuits, Electronics I & II, Microcomputers, and

The students are assigned a pre-lab exercise,which usually consists of prerequisite reading material, such as going through user manuals,datasheets, and other time-consuming but necessary activities. They work collaboratively ingroups of two or three per experimental station, and are supervised by a teaching assistant.However, each lab requires an individual submission of a number of deliverables, clearly identi-fied in the lab manuals.
