It is anticipated that these objectives will enable the students to gain an experienceof an electrical engineering design environment while also teaching them important skills andabilities that will further their overall training in the core general engineering curriculum.Laboratory DevelopmentWe chose to focus this laboratory design project on the step-wise design and development of anoperational amplifier-based instrumentation/temperature alarm system. An operationalamplifier-based design was selected because of the versatility of these circuit elements and the

Students learnmathematical control theory, board-level electronics, interfacing and microprocessorssupplemented with educational laboratory equipment 1,2,3 The current curriculum tends to have acompartmentalized approach with separately taught subjects of abstract control theory,kinematics, dynamics, electronics, programming and machine design. The educational laboratoryequipment such as balancing an inverted pendulum or a ball-on-beam, LEGO robots followinglines or solving a maze are some examples. We use these platforms and heavily mathematicalcontent to “teach the fundamentals” and let them learn the industrial hardware aftergraduation.As new

onlineeducation offers a variety of resources and focuses primarily on teaching the fundamentaltheories and concepts, one disadvantage is the lack of hands-on experience and direct interaction[1]. Particularly in engineering education, where abstract engineering concepts ideally can bebetter understood by doing the related hands-on activities such as laboratory experiments. Tosolve the issue of the practical training shortage and the lack of hands-on experience with onlineeducation, VR takes the learning experience to a next level in terms of interaction andengagement.

Math courses, English courses,and even computer courses are easily transferred from on-campus teaching to on-line teaching.Electronics lectures can easily be transferred as well; however, there has always been a challengewith transferring the laboratory experiments without making all of the experiments simulationbased.
