Research suggests that these experiences canguide students toward further global engagement and both professional and personaldevelopment later in their careers (Vahed et al., 2020). The pandemic has led to a rise in digitallearning tools and online teaching capabilities, but it has created challenges for connectionamong peers. At its core, education is human interaction. To create an environment in whichstudents can successfully learn remotely there needs to be a method for meaningful two-wayinteraction (Remote learning during COVID-19, 2023).

A design-build-test project allows students to worktogether towards a tangible outcome and develop the critical non-technical skills that are notexplicitly taught in engineering curriculum [12].The COVID-19 pandemic introduced challenges for hands-on engineering learning.

Moststudents in the course are senior undergrads or graduate students, nearing their entry (or re-entry)into their professional careers, so the authors decided to hone in on the professional aspect ofcollaboration, as a way to move from simple team projects to what Ellis, Han, and Pardo wouldrefer to as “productive collaboration” (2018, p. 130). When developing the course interventionsdiscussed in this paper, the authors focused less on which skills needed to be taught, and more onshifting the context from undergraduate education to a setting more akin to professionalenvironments.

Quick solutions regarding the conversion to a digital lab were required, ofwhich one variant emerged as a simple, cost-effective variant, the so-called human-remotelaboratory [9].

In this type of laboratory, the human instructor acts as a physicalagent or system, allowing students to control and interact with the laboratory equipment in real-time

These could diminish the equity of education andlearning experience between domestic and international students, for instance, in the efforts toadapt to the American higher education system's norms, cultures, and expectations [30].One of the reasons that international students have wanted to come to United States universitiesis to prepare for careers, either in the United States or in
