successful teaching strategy.It can be used in a virtual environment or regular college classroom settings. Active learningteaching approaches have been found to improve student learning, raise retention rates, and closethe achievement gap between various student populations in college science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses [4]. Beyond the subject of electrical engineering,active learning pedagogies have been applied extensively in industrial engineering [5-7].For STEM students, in particular, who learn best in courses with hands-on laboratories, aneffective online instructional practice uses a variety of active learning pedagogies as shown inFigure 1. There is a considerable level of discontent with online engineering
laboratory increased due to the need for change invarious aspects of teaching and learning. This enabled a greater engagement of the academiccommunity with the Teaching and Learning Center, enabling other departments to understandthe relevance of the center. In addition to providing consultancy, advice, and holdingworkshops, the center uses scientific methodology to prove that the methods work. In thisway, in addition to supporting the university community, they generate scientific knowledge.This developed knowledge is essential to convey confidence. For instance, research only withindustrial engineering and operations management students could be conducted by this centerto generate insights that can improve the teaching and learning for this
disciplines has summoned researchersand educators to adopt interactive teaching techniques for reinforcing students’ spatial skills.Educators across different engineering fields have been exploring digital technologies, fromweb-based to immersive applications, to serve as spatial learning platforms, keeping pace withrapid technological advancements in education [16], [17].2.1 Web-Based Applications for Improving Spatial VisualizationSome researchers have been developing and incorporating digital interactive web-basedapplications into engineering laboratories to reinforce the students’ spatial abilities. For instance,a group of researchers developed an Interactive Learning Management System (ILMS) to beemployed as a web-based launch assistant learning

teaching manufacturing systems, engineering systems anddesign, engineering management, health care systems, and lean six-sigma process improvement;all subjects in which students need to gain an understanding of complex systems.Many teaching simulations are implemented physically, as laboratory or table-top systems. Thesesimulations have the advantage of being direct (if often simplified and miniaturized) models ofthe systems in question, allowing tactile learning from manipulating the simulation elements, andfostering face-to-face teamwork by the participating students. The idea of implementing suchsimulations in virtual environments seems promising. Theoretically, these implementationsshould be cheap, easy to implement, and universally available

, inquiry-driven techniques that promote curiosity and involvestudents as active participants in the learning process have been advocated in recent times [8],[9], [10], [11].Experiment-centric pedagogy (ECP), which combines traditional coursework with flexible, non-complex, hands-on activities and experiments, is one pedagogical strategy that induces aparadigm shift in learning whether in classrooms or laboratories, as well as educationaloutcomes. [12] define ECP as a practical, learner-centered teaching approach that uses affordableand portable devices to demonstrate STEM concepts. By giving learners’ the chance to engagedirectly with engineering phenomena, build knowledge via first-hand experience, and connecttheory to practice, these immersive

Education. Dr. Pennathur’s research interests are in human factors engineering and engineering education. In particular, he has conducted research on functional limitations in activities of daily living in older adults. The National Institutes of Health, and the Paso del Norte Health Foundation have funded his research on older adults. The US Army Research Laboratory has funded Dr. Pennathur’s research on workload assessment. Dr. Pennathur has also been recently awarded two grants from the National Science Foundation in Engineering Education.
