Lifelong learning Criterion 3 (i) inABET EAC 2019-2020 is mapped to the new Criterion 3 #7 as “an ability to acquire and applynew knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies”. For some instructors oflaboratory courses, it can be challenging, vague, or difficult to measure this student outcome.

The definitions vary enough to make it difficult for instructors to developcurriculum and assessment tools. The value of this paper to the laboratory
AeromechanicsII. AAE 20401 is an aerospace structural mechanics lab course for second-year students wherethey had the opportunity to use the Virtual Lab software. When implementing the Virtual Labs,we characterized the content, assessment, and pedagogy of the course under the BackwardCourse Design Model to identify how the Virtual Lab software could be integrated into thecoursework. After a year of getting feedback on the software from the students and investigatingthe pedagogical approaches on how to use it, we introduced a new format on the use of thevirtual lab in Fall 2019. This paper describes the latest version of the lab course with theintegration of the Virtual Lab software. The curriculum design, presented in this paper, is auseful reference for

implemented Virtual Labs (VLs) for AAE 20401, AeromechanicsII, a one-credit lab course for second-year aerospace engineering students, in Fall 2018–Spring2019. Following the AAE 20401 VLs, we also implanted VLs for AAE 35201, StructuralAnalysis I, a one-credit lab course for third-year aerospace engineering students, in Spring 2019–Spring 2020. The implementation of the VLs coincided with a particular period of time: theCOVID-19 school closure and remote learning in March 2020-August 2020. Thus, this papertalks about the following two main topics: 1) the implementation of AAE 35201 VLs and 2)pedagogy change before, during, and after the COVID-19 school closure and learning.

The growth in the sector isprimarily based on high-end technology jobs such as computational fluid dynamics testingand redesigning aircrafts for better efficiency. Predicting employment growth tends to beconservative. For example, the predicted employment numbers in AE

It is planned to utilize the custom VRflight simulator to assist in motivating students during their aircraft design projects, and provideadditional insight into the aircraft design process. After students get an idea of the size of theiroriginal aircraft, by estimating the power loading, wing loading, drag, lift-to-drag ratio and fuelfraction, the take-off weight can be approximated. This is followed by engine sizing andselection, wing geometry and placement, airfoil selection and tail geometry and sizing. Beforetoo long, the student will be able to “rough out” their original aircraft in X-Plane by specifyingall the necessary design parameters. This will give students the opportunity to take their
simulate the motion of aircraft based on control inputs initiated by the user.1 However,when testing the motors used to drive the motion, they proved to not be powerful enough toexecute all necessary functions without sustaining damage. At the end of the school year, theteam determined that more powerful motors would be necessary. More funding was requestedand eventually granted, but not before the senior students had graduated from ORU. The nextyear’s class of students installed the new motors in the Spring of 2019, but testing the prototypewas very limited due to the School of Engineering moving all labs and classrooms to newfacilities across the street. Boxing up the simulator and all required equipment proved to be alarge challenge. Another
