content to cater to a large volume of students.7 Bozkurt etal., have developed a framework to structure methodology for the design, development anddelivery of either a brand new online course or one modified from an existing face-to-facecourse.8 Smith and Mitry concluded that e-learning will never reach its true potential if courseadministrators dilute the academic standards.9 Berry presented research to compare the efficiencyof offering an electrical systems course online compared to the regular course structure.10Most of the online courses reported in the literature are limited to theory courses in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. This paper discusses the transformation of aproject and lab-based course from completely
