This autoethnographic study sought to understand commonalities in five instructors’attitudes toward online education tools, external variables that affected their adaptation, and theiroverall perceptions of the technology and its usefulness. The research design was guided by theTechnology Acceptance Model (TAM). Deductive analysis of reflections, interviews, and focusgroup transcripts demonstrated the presence of TAM constructs in participants’ experiences.Participants recognized the usefulness of various technologies and tools but did not inherentlyview them or the experience of teaching online in a positive

Participants were asked to reflect on and prototype learning experiences thatwould promote intrinsic motivation and fulfill students’ needs for competence, relatedness, andautonomy to learn engineering [1].

[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

The new design sequence complements theexisting year-long, industry-sponsored senior design experience.

Finally, this surveyfocused on faculty self-reported confidence levels about communicating with students aboutdifferent mental health concerns rather than quantifiable skill levels. Literature shows that evenwith trained therapists, there is little relationship between confidence and competence when itcomes to treatment efficacy. In fact, it has been found that therapists who have higher levels ofself-doubt can help facilitate better patient outcomes [25]. This is possibly due to positive self-reflections that result in improved therapeutic interventions. As a result, lack of confidence doesnot necessarily mean
