geographic limitations [17]. This promotes accessibility andscalability, making it feasible for learners to engage with AM technology regardless of theirproximity to a physical lab facility. Consequently, innovative AM laboratories and remotelearning environments play a crucial role in teaching students’ practical skills and understandingAM processes and technologies. Some of the remote labs are shown in Figure 1.

We chose students who had mademultiple appointments during the semester to get more in-depth student feedback. We conductedthe interviews over Zoom and all students completed participant consent forms. (See Appendix Bfor interview questions.)

education became a scientific inquiry in theU.S. between 1890 to 1910 with the goal to innovate curricular design as well as pedagogicalpractices. Engineering education as a discipline and research field aims to assist students by a)providing evidence-based practices to instructors on engineering practices [2], b) ways toenhance students’ learning experiences [3]; [4], c) incorporating effective teachingmethodologies for students [5]; [6], d) integrating technology in the classroom [7]; [8]; [9], e)refining assessment methods [10], and f) enhancing curricula to meet the needs of students andimplementing strategies to better equip the next generation of engineers [7]; [11]; [12].Understanding engineering education from a historical perspective, it
