recommendation would be to convert some of the engineering lab modules tointeractive online simulations or virtual lab setups to re-introduce some of the “hands-on”experience that was lost in the rapid transition to online labs. The need or usefulness of a virtuallab or simulation was stated by both GLAs and undergraduates as a way to improve theirsatisfaction with the lab courses, but a clear path to developing and maintaining those resourceswas not defined. Therein appears to lie a major drawback in the current available resources tomechanical engineering labs; when executed correctly, virtual labs have the potential to offersimilar learning gains, but they are difficult to program and maintain without substantialfinancial, technical, and professional
