For instance, practical hands-onlaboratories provide students with a tangible, physical experience that is not possible in a virtualor remote setting. This physical interaction with equipment and processes can help studentsdevelop a deeper understanding of the underlying principles and concepts being taught [7].Additionally, hands-on laboratories allow students to develop practical skills and hands-onexperience, which

These skills, evenmore than technical competencies (programming, prototyping, data analysis, etc…) arecommonly listed by industry as being the most important skills for graduate level hires [25]. One challenge with combining these courses arises from the additional complexity ofsupporting more complex team dynamics which will heavily impact student experience [2,4,9].A 2013 review of engineering team effectiveness from a psychological perspective found thatwhile many reports focus broadly on teamwork, a smaller proportion focused on interdisciplinaryor complex teams [4].
