With that in mind, we hope to continueencouraging broader dialogue to better serve students through inclusive practices and targetedfaculty development that yields long-lasting educational impacts for students of all backgrounds.Future work should also address approaches to improving the intrinsic motivation of facultymembers themselves. A similar exercise could be implemented with engineering educators as theprimary stakeholder. Finally, future research should also explore the

of professional valuesand attitudes). According to Eaton et al. [1], some teaching activities in the online environmenthave “the potentials to cultivate deeper learning experiences, but they can fail to do so ifactivities are not designed and implemented properly.” The rapid switch to online instruction inMarch 2020 did not allow faculty members to train, plan and reflect upon the best teachingmodes for online instruction, unless they had previously taught an online class. Therefore, aswith many other researchers, we consider the Spring semester to be an example of remotelearning rather than planned online learning [3].In October 2020, the Chronicle of Higher Education conducted a survey among faculty membersin US institutions to gain
Learning from the student experience: Impact of the shelter-in- place on the learning experiences of engineering students at San José State UniversityAbstractThis is a research paper based on an in-depth study of the impact of COVID-19 on students andfaculty in the San José State University (SJSU) College of Engineering completed in Spring andSummer 2020. In this paper, we report on the interviews we did with 40 students from theCollege. In March 2020, SJSU moved all of its classes to remote learning for the remainder ofthe Spring term. The students included freshmen (3 students), sophomores (2 students), juniors(7 students), seniors (11 students) and graduate students (17 students). During the interviews

learning has yet to be seen [4]. The lackof remote teaching in engineering, prior to the pandemic, has been attributed to the inherentnature of the discipline, which requires hands-on training to work with instruments and materialsin controlled laboratory settings [5]. Learning experiences that support practical knowledge andskill development are essential for engineers but are difficult to create in a digital environment[5]. Consequently, researchers have claimed that transiting conventional engineering courses thatfocus on content-centered and designed-oriented learning to online may not provide studentswith the in-depth learning required in engineering [5-6]. Furthermore, converting conventionalengineering courses to remote instruction
