“…Industrial managers seek students with both practical and theoretical knowledge and who are ready to make an immediate impact in their organizations without undergoing any formal training. Provide opportunities for students engaging in industry is a big challenge due to the constraint to set up an environment similar industry counterpart (Yang, 2021). By the end of mechanical practical courses, students must be able to diagnose and maintain equipment, be well-versed in mechanical principles and theorems, take measurements and analyze the results and create prototypes for parts, machines, and installations.…”

This research paper introduces three innovative approaches for delivering online practical courses in the field of mechanical engineering. With the increasing popularity of eLearning platforms, educators have been encouraged to adapt their teaching methods accordingly. However, teaching practical mechanical engineering courses online has posed significant challenges due to the reliance on machinery and hands-on equipment. This study represents a pioneering effort in proposing new methods to address these difficulties. The primary goals of this research are to establish the feasibility of conducting practical courses online and to provide solutions for enhancing the quality of such courses. To achieve these objectives, the study focuses on the development, application, and analysis of pedagogical approaches, virtual tools, and simulation software. The research was carried out with three student groups enrolled in two Tunisian Higher Institutes of Technological Studies. Based on the evaluations of these experiences, the implementation of new methodologies has led to a significant improvement in students' practical skills.

“…The former and latter are normally separately prepared to test the theoretical and practical contributions, respectively. A recent article did report a correlation in terms of a student's performance between both [29]. In order to create an effective evaluation, we strongly believe that the open-ended exam questions (such as in Appendix H) are crucial in the future of all PBL courses.…”

Some universities offer specific project-based learning (PBL) courses in the third year of their electronic engineering degree to equip undergraduate students before they embark on industrial attachment and/or a capstone project. This course exposes those students to full design cycles at circuit and system levels. Students also pick up practical skills, such as component selection, circuit troubleshooting, printed circuit board design, and market analysis. This perspective offers the author’s reflections on effective learning and teaching strategies for this purpose, after running such a course for the past 10 years at Griffith University. In earlier years, students’ have complained about lack of direction and overloading, which are common issues being reported in PBL courses. In response, we have implemented scaffolding and balanced evaluation criteria for assessment, providing formative feedback, and we have designed integrated assessment items. As a result, average marks for the cohort and the percentage of students that receive the grade of high distinction have increased in the past five years. These strategies might be of help at other learning institutions that offer similar courses.

“…As a carrier for cultivating talents and promoting innovation, colleges undertake the important tasks of serving society, developing science, and cultivating talents [1,2]. In the face of the social market background of the urgent need for talent in the industry, colleges are optimizing the positioning of disciplines and improving their competitiveness in the industrial market [3,4]. At present, some problems may persist in the teaching quality and teaching methods of virtual simulation teaching courses in China's colleges and universities.…”

As a new learning model that breaks the barriers of time and space, virtual simulation covers a variety of learning behaviors. To evaluate the effect of virtual simulation teaching on college students’ learning behavior, with the help of a course integration model which reduces the omissions in the process of data collection, the data collection process of college students on the online platform was constructed. The collected data before storage were preprocessed which reduces the repetition rate of the original data of learning behavior, and the correlation between the collected data and the actual learning behavior was analyzed. Results show that learners’ specific process of online learning can be summarized into four stages: login trajectory, core learning, social interaction, and learning evaluation. Then, the actual final examination scores of the college students who participated in the test are all above 90 points, and their academic achievements are significantly improved. The use of the virtual simulation teaching method also enhances the overall satisfaction of college students with experimental courses, and the accuracy of the analysis results of course results is 99%, with better results. Conclusions are helpful to build college students' active learning consciousness of virtual simulation teaching courses.
