Many institutions have opted to cancel in-personclasses, including labs, and have mandated a pivot to online instruction to help control the spreadof the virus. Researchers have studied online education for decades and research shows thateffective online learning results from a planned instructional design using a systematic model fordevelopment [1]. Research also showed that educators who are new to online instruction reportchallenges related to increased workload, the usage of new technologies, and organizing theircourses

It'skey in any situation, especially for incoming students, not quite knowing how is college differentthan high school. Managing their time would be giving student a lot more freedom.

This paper discusses themotivation for intervening with Statics, the data collection procedure, and the recitation coursepedagogy.Intro:Statics is an introductory engineering course where sophomore-level students first synthesize thetechnical skills gained in math and physics courses. As such, it can be a challenging introductionto engineering concepts and routinely has a high attrition rate. Most engineering majors in thePenn State system require a Statics grade of C or better before graduation. As a result, poorgrades require students to repeat the course and failing Statics has a large impact on retention ofengineering students. The Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department at Penn State
