Although personal messages of encouragement and reflectionopportunities were practiced in this thermodynamics course, our plan is to be more intentionalabout both going forward. In summary, students and instructors in this thermodynamics coursedemonstrated impressive resiliency during the pandemic-induced shift to 100% online classes,and lessons which were learned in the e-Learning environment can improve post-pandemicengineering instruction.References[1] WHO, “United States of America: WHO Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Dashboard,” World Health

As such, students may have felt obligated torank safety as their highest priority to align with the context of the course. Unintentionally,individuals may wrongly predict their behavior with a phenomenon known as behavioralforecasting [32], [33]. Regardless of context, students may sincerely believe they hold safety astheir priority but lose sight of this when immersed in complex work dilemmas. It is unclear towhat extent these two confounds come into play in how students respond to the reflection due toa lack of further data. In either case, further evidence would
