He entered the field of electronics first as a hobby as a child, won 1st place in the California VICA Industrial Electronics state-wide competition in high school and earned all of his degrees in electronics with honors: BSEE at Cal Poly Pomona, MSEE at Caltech, and PhD at UCLA. At the end of each semester he usually receives student reviews above the department
and preparations.Students with little or no preparation have a lot of difficulty understanding the physics andconnecting the physical principles to the methods and potential applications within the shorttimeframe each method is discussed. To address these challenges, we augment the (virtual) class by virtual laboratory sessionsin order to reinforce student understanding of the physics and operation of select NDEtechniques (ET and UT). Simulation-based virtual laboratories have long been used to increaselearning in engineering courses. For example, Kukreti et al. [3] developed simple simulationtools to teach fundamental concepts of ‘Strength of Materials’, a core engineering course whileDerks et al. [4] combined actual and laboratory

A survey of transportation engineering faculty in the United States [6] foundthat a small fraction (22%) held laboratory courses remotely during the pandemic. However, thestudy was not clear if this meant that the laboratory component for the remaining courses wereeliminated altogether or kept in an in-person format.
