therealization of the design. Parts are ordered and prototypes are manufactured. For the 2019-2020academic year, all the actualization of the projects happened simultaneously with the global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven months of design work suddenly had to pivot intoprojects and deliverables that could be completed remotely without access to much of the tools,equipment, and resources typically used by teams. This transition was much easier for someprojects than others.Upon completion of the Spring 2020 semester, the instructors reflected upon the outcome of thecourse and acknowledged several positive and negative aspects and used those to guide changesimplemented on the next iteration of the capstone course. This practice seemed to

research program. Some of thestudents were introduced to Agricultural & Biological Engineering (ABE) projects through thispartnership opportunity. These students were paired with an ABE faculty member in theirresearch area to conduct their initial project in a university setting. RS students were thenallowed to direct a project of their choosing within the Multi-disciplinary Engineering ResearchFellowship (MERF). The MERF opportunity provided students with a self-directed project tohelp prepare them for their senior capstone project within their discipline. Students were requiredto document their projects and formally write-up their experimental results. The LSAMP andMERF projects provided valuable experiential components to the RS students
