Thehigh frequency of generative design questions is particularly meaningful when compared to twoanalogous studies of peer critiques within a conventional face-to-face setting, in which low-levelquestions were more prevalent. These findings overall support written, asynchronous designcritiques as a useful mode for enhancing exchanges of feedback between student peers.References[1] M. Mandala, C. Schunn, S. Dow, M.

] analyzed the “low-choice culture” of engineering curricula, particularly incontrast to other fields of study. In the context of new research demonstrating the value of selfdetermination or autonomy for students in motivating learning, enhancing self-efficacy, andsupporting persistence, the relative inflexibility of engineering curricula stood out starkly. Withinindividual courses, studies have shown the “power of choice” to positively influence studentoutcomes, for example, when students may choose from among a menu of design projects[45, 46], and recommendations have been made for the design of self-determination supportiveengineering-student learning experiences [47, 48].

The present study seeks to gather direct evidence of howstudents are allocating their time (e.g. what activities and for what duration), in an effort to bothinform human-centered course design and to optimize student learning and well-being under theconditions of remote/multi-modal learning and beyond.Literature Review Until relatively recently, there has been little scholarly interest in how students spendtheir time outside of class. This began changing in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s when ahandful of large-scale studies indicated that student spend far less time on learning activities,such as reading or studying, than had been

It was noticeable that interest in engineering in middle school no longerincreased female students’ odds of choosing engineering as a career at the end of high school. Itcould be inferred that female students’ engineering career interest in middle school only affectedtheir interest at the beginning, not the end of high school, as students might have the option totake more
