engineeringproblems.During the fall 2020 semester, the course was offered as a blended course to facilitate pandemic-related flexibility. The on-campus face-to-face lectures were offered in-person andsynchronously through the Blackboard Collaborate platform and recorded for later access. Allthe laboratory exercises were prerecorded by the teaching faculty and posted online prior to theface-to-face labs’ meeting time. The students had the option of attending the activity on campusor watch it performed by the teaching faculty.The ParticipantsThe MET program, the largest of the five programs in our Engineering Technology Department,enrolls approximately 380 students. The fall 2020 MET 4100 cohort comprised of 37 seniors.The students were divided in groups of up to
