Therefore, most engineeringeducators seek experiential learning techniques and implementations pioneering and captivating tohelp students understand and exercise the engineering concepts they learned2. Although laboratory-based learning allows students to deduce and apply concepts, this more commonly used approach istypically limited by the physical laboratory resources, unlike many current approaches2,3,4.
