regard, colleges employ various equipment to teach students how to conduct a safestarting sequence of the robotic arm, execute basic manual controls through various tasks such aspicking up an object and dropping in a bin or placing on an assembly line, program automaticoperations, and turn off the equipment safely. Although every student must learn these basicoperations, the limited space in the laboratory or financial challenges allow colleges to educate with asmaller number of equipment than the class size. Moreover, spring 2020 semester required alleducational institutions to conduct their classes remotely due to the global pandemic. Therefore,development of a virtual reality simulated robotic arm was important for effective learning

pandemic on engineeringstudents at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Pre-pandemic students’performance have been compared with performances after return to campus in the fall of 2021.Data clearly show that the level of knowledge of students and or their aptitudes to acquireknowledge has been negatively impacted by the pandemic, as observed by tangible increase inthe rate of failure in core courses.This paper also discusses about the importance of field and human components in engineeringeducation and proposes solutions to reduce the negative impact of online education inengineering disciplines, should it happen again in the future. One suggested strategy, will bedesigning safe laboratory and field experiments to complement the
