Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, traditional university classes, and any associated experiential hands-on learning laboratories, adapted to comply with safety standards for public health, transitioning from a traditional classroom environment to a virtual one. This paper discusses the impact hands-on experiential learning laboratories have on both technical understanding and soft skill development utilizing different teaching modalities: completely asynchronous online delivery or a hybrid delivery incorporating synchronous virtual lectures and in-person hands-on building activities. Hands-on experiential learning laboratories have been used in conjunction with other instructional delivery methods, helping students connect the dots between theory and application. These hands-on laboratories provide opportunities for students to “learn by doing” by building full-scale assemblies, developing both technical and soft skills. A survey was conducted to determine students’ perspectives on how hands-on experiential exercises impacted both technical and soft skill development, and responses were analyzed for the different teaching modalities employed. Overall, all technical skills and most soft skills were positively impacted by these activities under both modalities, with hybrid courses having higher ratings than both asynchronous courses and traditional pre-COVID course delivery. This information may assist construction management programs that are interested in developing hands-on experiential laboratory exercises using various teaching modalities.
