Teams who did not escape during laboratory period one were given the option to complete the unfinished module, at the end of the first laboratory period, during the time between laboratory period one and laboratory period two. The instructor team used Microsoft Teams to communicate with groups during the exercise, which expedited communications. In addition, we used one instructor and one staff member during the exercise to minimize time that groups waited for assistance. The need for an instructor team is discussed in more detail below.5.

After theproject was completed, informal assessment of the outcomes indicated that some improvementwas needed. The literature strongly suggests that hands-on project work and laboratories are acritical component of engineering education, providing substantial motivation for this work.Several specific features of the project seemed to hinder these educational outcomes, so asignificant overhaul of the project was undertaken to mitigate the technical issues underlyingthese weaknesses. While addressing these concerns, general improvements of the project as aneducational tool were also

ForK12 education, VR tools are commonly used for visualizing geometry-shape in math class, solarsystem and planets in earth science, historical sites around the world in history and geographyclass, organs and animal habitats in biology, and molecular bonds in chemistry.

Since engineering students have only four years to study therequisite engineering and non-engineering courses, they necessarily need to learn manyimportant newer fields on their own by way of “learning by doing” projects.Several leading universities have emphasized innovative approaches to engineeringeducation, such as “hands-on learning”, “learning by/while doing”, and “project-basedlearning”. The tangible and intangible benefits of such active learning approaches aremost widely gained through practical laboratory and project-based instruction7, 8.To quote Professor Seymour Papert, the creator of the Logo language

Learning in Electrical Engineering Class1. IntroductionAll core courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Howard University and, at certain extent,in most engineering and science disciplines everywhere, are each taught by a combination of lectureand laboratory. The idea behind the lecture-lab combination is to help bridge the gap between theclassroom knowledge of theory and the practical aspect in real world. The good idea, however, hasfailed to produce the necessary practice and intended result. Lecture and lab are seldom taught in thesame class and, therefore, different topics are covered in two separate classes. Often, lecture and labare taught by different instructors. Consequently, the intended learning

Duringthese lab sessions, students have to master new concepts previously taught in theoretical lectures,use laboratory equipment to build experiments, develop software and hardware debuggingskills and learn how use complex CAD tools. The limitation of this traditional approach is thefact that 2 or 3 hours of lab sessions prove insufficient to meet all the lab objectives.Consequently, students do not develop the right skills required by industry.A new approach, where every student owns his or her own programmable hardware system andCAD tool suite, is now feasible due to decreased costs.
