Abstract

Laboratory courses are forced to switch to online format during the COVID-19 pandemic and the students have no access to the laboratory equipment in the facility on campus. This paper reports on adapting the senior-level Control and Vibration Laboratory curriculum to the Arduino platform and its accessories. The results show that the remote-learning format is a viable and preferable solution according to the major positive feedback provided by the students. The paper also identified several online tools and platforms that contributed to the overall learning experience.
