These included resources for faculty and students alike on which buildings were still open, recommendations for use of laboratory spaces, booking of meeting rooms and conference rooms and guidelines for gathering indoors. 3.

Some universities provided links to indoor exercises, while others promoted mindfulness and encouraged mental wellbeing. 4. Showcasing
learning has yet to be seen [4]. The lackof remote teaching in engineering, prior to the pandemic, has been attributed to the inherentnature of the discipline, which requires hands-on training to work with instruments and materialsin controlled laboratory settings [5]. Learning experiences that support practical knowledge andskill development are essential for engineers but are difficult to create in a digital environment[5]. Consequently, researchers have claimed that transiting conventional engineering courses thatfocus on content-centered and designed-oriented learning to online may not provide studentswith the in-depth learning required in engineering [5-6]. Furthermore, converting conventionalengineering courses to remote instruction

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 A Program for Managing Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Engineering Education ABSTRACTUnmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are an increasingly important aspect of technology. As aresult, they have become a very important tool in engineering education for a variety ofdisciplines. While many physical laboratories or training aids have regulatory and administrativerequirements, the considerations related to UAS are multifaceted and include Federal AviationRegulations, airspace requirements, and privacy considerations. Furthermore, UAS pose aphysical hazard that must be taken into account to protect students, staff, faculty, and
than commuting or forother situations. Regardless of the reason, online classes had been steadily gaining popularitydue to their added benefits and ease of attendance. Additionally, with most students now readilyable to use computers from a young age, the digital and distance courses are easily acceptedby most rising university students. While there are many classes that do lend themselves easilyto an online format, laboratories, design courses, or lab-style courses are at a distinctdisadvantage. Most lab classes require students to be in-person to conduct experiments, or inthe case of engineering labs, the students would be required to analyze or build something toprove an engineering principle. Historically, these classes do not easily

What seems clear is that contextualized learning, suchwatching a YouTube video, facilitates both individual and collaborative processes of learningand knowledge building [26]. This promotes a rich, deeper understanding for students, and webelieve that these online channels should be integrated and celebrated as critical component ofone’s development into

traditional in-person instruction. This prompted the faculty to schedule a series offormal discussions throughout the fall term to allow a critical review of the model. Because thisreview of the model was precipitated by the unique environment in which educators foundthemselves, this paper is largely focused on teaching and learning outside of a physicalclassroom or laboratory. This new environment may be described as remote teaching, distanceeducation, virtual instruction, or online learning. As our faculty were new to any of thesemodalities, we used these terms interchangeably but soon learned that they are each unique. Toensure clear understanding, the terms remote, virtual, and online are defined for the purposes ofthis paper in Table 1. It
