Can some of the lessons learned apply toin-person lab offerings? Can online labs improve the sense of inclusion and belonging?These questions are addressed in the paper. The paper describes the five labs conducted 100%online in a 3rd-year Introduction to Thermodynamics course in a mid-size comprehensiveuniversity’s mechanical engineering program. The course comprises 200 minutes of lectures and125 minutes of labs per week in a 10-week term.

For example, many labsperformed on computers in a physical computer room may be moved to virtual labs online usinga decentralized approach or centralized cloud approaches. More details will be discussed insection 3.5.In another example, in-class student presentations were integral part of some F2F courses. Afterclasses are moved online, students now create presentations using software (Mediasite Mosaic)on their own computers and upload videos to the University Mediasite server for peer review.If no learning outcomes are clearly defined in the syllabus, it is a good idea to
