an early experiment, Copolo and Hounshell (1995) foundthat students in the group using both computer and physical models performed significantlybetter than the groups using either one of the models by itself [9]. Our motivation for anAugmented reality (AR)-based application aligns with this idea. Augmented reality technologyattracts the attention of those wanting a remote learning experience with a connection toreal-world interaction. As proposed by Azuma [9], AR can be defined as a system that fulfillsthree basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate3D registration of virtual and real objects. It exploits localization and object recognitiontechnology to augment a user’s digital experience

However, on the other hand, some non-EE majors do not see the relevance of EEto their educational program until they face a real-world problem, often on-the-job aftergraduation, when the opportunity for learning applicable, real world skills or concepts in a coursehas already passed. Thus, one of the significant challenges engineering educators face is how toengage students of all engineering and technology majors in meaningful electrical & computerengineering activities that would encourage them to persist and pursue a career in engineeringand technology.

Through this activity the learner is able to translate an abstract concept into practicalapplication. Translation of abstract principles to real world concepts is often achieved throughinstructional laboratories that typically require significant space, time, and faculty resources. Toaddress the heavy burden of labs on these resources, remote or fully virtual labs have becomemore popular in different areas of STEM in the last decade, especially with the increase in thenumber of online classes offered [3], [4], [5].
