This study provides insights for educators seeking to enhance onlinehands-on learning in engineering education.IntroductionOnline engineering education has seen significant growth in recent years due to advancements indigital technologies and the need for flexible, accessible learning opportunities [1]. However,traditional hands-on engineering courses present unique challenges in the online format. Thesecourses often involve laboratory or project-based work requiring access to specialized equipmentand collaboration with peers, which can be challenging to achieve in an online setting [2]. As aresult, educators are exploring new strategies to
