theimportance of power engineering education in the power engineering profession.A hands-on laboratory course is also crucial, along with a lecture-based course in power systemsengineering, as this delivery mode will better help the students to understand the smart gridconcepts. However, current curricula mostly include traditional topics for laboratory courses,such as electric power and machinery. The laboratory courses should also update along with theupdated lecture courses and cover smart grid technologies, i.e., renewable and green energyintegration, energy efficiency, energy storage. Authors in [15] propose a hands-on laboratorycourse consisting of three major components, (1) Power System Simulations performing on aminiature real-world power

Most faculty at SJSU had nevertaught online before this dramatic shift in March 2020 and both faculty and students werechallenged to finish the semester. Most SJSU engineering classes are offered in the traditionalface-to-face mode with in-person laboratories and project classes. Because of COVID-19, allSJSU classes, including those in the College of Engineering, went to a remote mode.The object of this study was to determine the impact of the sudden move to remote learning onengineering students at SJSU through a survey and interviews.

students that take a position in an environmental, safety, andoccupational health department within a plant. The aim of this work is to share the instructionalapproach on safety and environmental compliance in our capstone course to obtain feedbackfrom other design education experts to improve our instruction.The need for enhanced process safety instruction in chemical engineering curricula has beenrecognized for a while in our discipline [1], [2], [3]. A greater awareness of this need resultedfrom the T2 Laboratories runaway reaction and explosion that occurred in Jacksonville, Floridain 2007 [4]. This event served as an impetus for ABET to specifically include process safety as arequired instructional component in chemical engineering curricula
the semester during theregularly scheduled laboratory sessions, which are otherwise used for the implementation ofcoding concepts and development of programming skills through interactive group activities andcode-writing exercises. The coding interviews provided an opportunity for each student to meetindividually with a Teaching Assistant (TA) or Instructor to discuss the core programmingconcepts of the course in the context of code that the student wrote for a previous assignment.The TAs were trained to keep the interviews as an informal discussion focused on the codingconstructs implemented in the student’s code with primary goals as follows: • To ensure each student is developing fundamental programming skills and to flag those

engineering education during the 2020-2021academic year. The transition to remote learning was particularly difficult for many of the hands-on experiential learning and laboratory courses that are integral parts of an engineeringeducation. Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1]. In addition, most students across the countryleft their campuses and returned home to complete the spring 2020 semester from afar, leading tofewer interactions with their peers, faculty, and staff for
