Another part ofstudent learning in engineering, though informal, occurs in co-curricular activity such asengineering societies and team competitions where students conduct hands-on activities toachieve certain objectives, usually with minimal (if any) authoritative figures in presence.

laboratory experiment, but italso has disadvantages, namely students have less class time to learn the fundamentals of twovast fields of study—statistics and measurement.Initially, the content of the IDE’s Data Analysis course was organized in series, focusing onmeasurement topics first and statistical concepts second. This sequential model had twomajor disadvantages. First, because the measurement and data acquisition content wasconcentrated at the start of the semester, many students struggled to remember what they“learned” in the first part of the class when they completed their culminating project later inthe semester, in which they designed their own experiment and then collected and analyzedtheir own data. This phenomenon illustrated that

Engineering Education, 2023 Achieving Active Learning through Collaborative Online Lab ExperiencesAbstract In engineering education, laboratory learning that is well aligned with core contentknowledge is instrumental as it plays a significant role in students’ knowledge construction,application, and distribution. Learning in laboratories is interactive in nature, and thereforestudents who learn engineering through online platforms can face many challenges with labs,which were frequently documented during the recent pandemic. To address those reportedchallenges, innovative online lab learning modules were developed and learning strategies wereimplemented in five courses in electrical engineering, Circuits I, Electronics I, Electronics II
