215 students consented to participate inthe study across two years of data collection. We collected data in two iterations of two coursesthat made specific changes from in-person laboratory experiments to online experimentationthrough simulations.The first course was a one-credit course that serves as an introduction to chemical engineeringand contained primarily students in their first year of college. The first-year students worked ingroups. In 2019, 71 students in 19 groups provided consent and in 2020, 51 students in 13 groupsprovided consent.The second course was a three-credit laboratory course (the first of a four-course laboratorysequence) focused on thermodynamics. This course contained junior chemical engineers whoworked in groups

RedShirt students in the sophomore and junioryears responded to a semi-structured list of questions through focus group participation, withsome individual follow-up interviews.The thematic findings from sophomores and juniors include: academic strategies for respondingto more challenging classes; adjusting to new peer groups; developing identity as a minoritizedstudent; effects of advising interactions; and, dealing with living arrangements and other externalfactors.

Some universities established specialized writing centerswithin engineering departments where writing consultants trained in field-specific writing tasksare on hand to support students [6], while others paired specially trained writing tutors withspecific classes [7]. At the annual ASEE conference in 2019, a team of scholars from theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign described their “Writing Across Engineering”program, in which writing specialists mentored STEM faculty on the integration of writing andcommunication skills in their courses [8]. In addition to these pedagogical collaborationsbetween writing and engineering faculty, scholars in writing across the curriculum (WAC

Feedback from multiple employers echoedthe same. Specifically, graduates were too casual during video conferences and with instantmessaging. Many new hires did not even consider these mediums as formal organizationcommunications, and that companies kept these for historical records.Initially motivated by a need to conduct briefings remotely, this study emerged as a way toimprove senior design briefings at The Citadel. A small group of faculty at The Citadel piloted aprogram in fall 2019 to give seniors in one of the engineering majors more exposure to videoconferencing. In their two

most relevant toaddress current and future challenges faced by manufacturing engineers. Since manufacturingtechnologies combine core principles of electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineeringtraining along with management and leadership skills, engineers need to possess broad as well asapplied skill sets in those areas. The BSET program offers hands-on knowledge and expertise tointegrate theory and practice, solve real-world problems, conduct research and becomeindependent learners [3]. The program will prepare students to use systems-based approaches toengage effectively in problem solving within complex, fast-paced manufacturing plants.
