circumstances [7-10] and to ERT. However, support services(e. g., technology support, instructional design staff, teaching and learning center, etc.) variedacross institutions, making it difficult for instructors to get assistance. Holliman et al., [17]asserted that employees whose autonomy is supported by their university are able to easily adapt.Thus, during a crisis situation, universities need to have ample support staff available for aseamless transition and consider how they are supporting instructor autonomy during transitionto and implementation of ERT.Konig and colleagues [22] suggest this rapid transition to remote teaching, at a minimum,requires knowledge and skills. As was seen in these findings, engineering instructors developedtheir

Because all of theparticipation was through Zoom, students felt uncomfortable asking questions of the professor.Disappointment with the learning environment among engineering students is echoed in researchconducted on postgraduate students in the United Kingdom [14] and 140 undergraduateengineering students in Qatar [15]. Out of the eleven students interviewed in the UK study, eightwere postgraduate students in engineering or technology. Participants in the U.K. study, inagreement with the Gelles et al study [13], felt that the remote classes were merely directtransfers of the existing teaching in the class rather than reconfigurations of the teaching tomaximize the effectiveness.

, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, & Medicine (STEMM). In spite of theimportance of faculty productivity to individual and career success, as well as the generallypositive effects of mentoring, research linking the two is lacking. Assessing possible connectionsis complicated by the fact that mentoring can take many forms, both formal and informal, to thepoint that a mentor and/or mentee might not even identify the relationship as mentorship. Inaddition, faculty productivity is influenced by myriad variables, making it difficult to isolate theeffects of any one of them (Dickeson, 2013). Finally, the definition and operationalization of“faculty productivity” is strongly shaped by one’s position type (tenure/non-tenure), andinstitutional
