pandemic are applied inthe future to ensure high quality teaching, learning and assessment [5]. Virtual and simulator-basedlaboratories and experimentation can serve a valuable role in developing practical skills andbuilding familiarity with operating procedures, in a cost-effective manner that supports distance-learning.

In this study, we will present two of the ongoing pedagogical developments for ourengineering students regarding virtual materials science laboratories: i) Virtual Reality apps andii) Scientific Emulators. Note that many educational simulations and science
