Often, the sense of urgency in a disaster recoverysituation creates a “help the helpless” mindset among aid agencies, and also creates a timeausterity that conflicts with listening, building local consensus, and modifying recovery plans [1][2] [3]. Few funding channels are open to community teams to design and implement their ownsolutions. It is difficult for community designers to access scholarly research and technicalengineering, and difficult for sophisticated engineers to embrace simple, inexpensive solutions.To put this in perspective, we understand development approaches in general, and disaster reliefapproaches in particular, to fall under one of four

With a lack of preparedness for the pivot and the complex effects it had on course delivery,critical student comments on negative experiences were expected. Furthermore, certain studentpreferences may have arisen as they adjusted to unfamiliar and/or ill-planned learningenvironments [5]. Documented impacts on students observed both by the authors and in publishedpapers to date have included [6-9]: • Academic stress factors such as reduced face-to-face social interactions • Limited networking presence with college personnel (faculty, staff) as well as peers • Longer response time for communication via e-mail or other online platforms • Extra assignments to make

In their quantitativesurvey, Cunningham et al. reported that teachers were more likely to believe engineers constructbuildings themselves and drive machinery, rather than planning and supervising these tasks.

However, the nature of the transition during the COVID-19pandemic cannot be compared to traditional models of online learning. These models involveprior planning and preparation to deliver course content tailored to the online setting. Thedevelopment time for a fully online university course can range between six to nine months priorto its delivery. Moreover, it can take two or three iterations of an online course for faculty to feelcomfortable with teaching it.

The underlying concept of digitaltwin as a “dynamic software model of a physical thing or system” creates under‐exploredopportunities in various disciplines. The research team tested a model of digital twin bycombining RFID and BIM technologies in order to integrate different type of real‐time data,from environmental data to student movement, to create a useful tool for data driven decisionmaking across campus units.

With little time to plan,faculty might have “relapsed” into well-known ways of teaching, suggesting the change wasincomplete or superficial.In this paper, we present evidence of successful and sustained faculty change during thistransitional period based on our previous work.

WhileCOVID-19 has been devastating, we propose that the pandemic also presents anunprecedented opportunity to reflect, reassess, and ‘bounce forward’ to become more efficient,effective, and resilient. The National Academy of Sciences’ definition of resilience has spurred atheory of resilience that centers on four successive stages surrounding a disruptive event, suchas COVID-19: (1) plan and prepare, (2) absorb, (3) recover, and (4) adapt. In this paper wepropose a framework that environmental programs can employ to ‘adapt’ (stage 4) and ‘bounceforward’ to a more resilient modus operandi long-term.

This was evident in the first summer of the grant, and isdocumented in an early focus group report: Faculty had the sense there was a plan developed by the RED team to move forward, and that faculty who were not PIs or co-PIs did not have access to the details of that plan. Some co-PIs of the RED grant clarified during the focus groups that the plan is emergent, and that the goals were to develop a plan together. *Some faculty perceived an assumption by the external consultant that the department was in need of a drastic change in culture/climate. *Some faculty perceived a lack

Thesestrategies help ensure that that each student feels their opinion is heard and respected. 1. Provide literature regarding the case as a reading assignment several days ahead of any in-class activity. This allows students an opportunity to read the case over at their own pace, take notes, and collect their own personal thoughts. It also allows more time during the formal lecture session for discussion or collaboration with their peers. 2.
