all the schools - elementary to university aswell as developed countries to underdeveloped countries, managed to finish the semester and/orschool year. To convert a conventional face-to-face class into online instruction mode takesseveral semesters and need resources. Moreover, a huge percent of university faculties is notinterested in taking virtual classes. There are several reasons behind it such as: (1) lack ofcomputer knowledge, (2) takes long time to develop an online course, (3) need more time to giveonline assignments, maintain webpage, and answering a huge number of emails, (4) no propertraining, and (5) lack of resources. The scientific laboratories are more difficult to convert intoonline mode. The Science, Technology, Engineering

The project includes investigation ofnovel technologies for increasing the endurance of UAVs, mainly by increasing power-to-weightratio through parasitic weight reduction of structural and power systems andgenerating/harvesting energy mid-flight. These courses are a mixture of virtual Zoom weeklyentire team meetings, sub-team with industry partner meetings, students’ garage manufacturing,and in-person meetings. The courses aim to motivate students to apply engineering knowledgefor new product development of engineering systems. Students can access the tutoring,supplemental instruction, and to store their assignments and other documents through the projectteam OneDrive and emails of co-advisors. The weekly

Analyzers (VNA) labeled the nanoVNA1. The nanoVNA units have beenbrought to the commercial market at a price point ($35-$150) and performance point (10 kHz to1.5 GHz coverage) combination that is very attractive. VNAs ownership is now viable forstudents, faculty, universities, and anyone interested in electronics design work. The VNA is anessential design tool for engineers to measure impedance, reflection coefficient and transmissioncoefficient of an electronic network. The VNA can also function as a time domain reflectometerto measure impulse and step response for devices in both transmission and reflection.In the past, it was uncommon for universities to offer universal access to Vector NetworkAnalyzer measurement technology due to the high

learnersatisfaction3. Social factors such as interpersonal interaction and social integration contributed tomore than 60% of learner satisfaction4. Feeling of isolation due to lack of interaction with peersor faculty and lack of prompt feedback have been long been identified as difficulties of onlinelearning. Students’ personal factors, for example, prior knowledge of technology or the subjectmatter affected their learning online5. Considering these factors, the author of this study hasmade several changes in an upper-level engineering course offered in Fall 2020.The objective of this study is to find if a 400-level engineering course, Engineering Hydraulics,can be taught as effectively as in F2F class.

Related WorkContemporary education has been changing, and many engineering disciplines have embracedflipped classroom method of teaching[4]. Salas-Rueda et al. [5] performed a quantitative analysisof students’ perception using machine learning methods for the flipped class with course contentsimilar to ours. The students performed pre-class preparation, in-class activities using designtools, and a lab activity after the class. Students’ perception was positive regarding the use of theflipped method and technology. In contrast to our work, the study is based on only one semester.Londgren et al.[6] presented

to robot designs.Due to the nature of cost and lack of opportunity, many senior engineering students working ontheir capstone project are unable to fully realize the breadth in the design and deployment ofrobotic and automation designs. Often it is impractical for engineering students to create a real-world equivalent problem to address full breadth that implementing a robotic system forautomation requires. To address this challenge, a relationship between Boys Republic and CalPoly Pomona was established which benefit both Cal Poly Pomona engineering students whileproviding a solution for Boys Republic in the assembly of Christmas wreaths.The Department of Electromechanical Engineering Technology at Cal Poly Pomona focuses onteaching

advantage of virtual mode is the flexibility for both the students and theinstructor.The possible drawback of virtual lab is: less or very few communications between the studentsand the instructor. Another possible drawback is the uneven workload among the students in thesame bench; it seems that in many benches, one student did most of the demos.To benefit more students and people, enhancing virtual labs to a lab courseware is some possiblealternative to consider.AcknowledgementThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial and technology support of the University,College of Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Center for theAdvancement of Faculty Excellence, which allows the students to perform lab experiments
