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

This is for good reason, since electricity productionconstituted 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, totaling nearly 1,625 million metric tonsof carbon dioxide in the United States [2].
