environments, various computer technologies are applied including Zoom meetings (especially breakout rooms and meeting recordings), pencasts, online tutorials, discussion boards, etc. Two laboratory design problems dealing with digital logic designs and interfacing of analog sensors are briefly described. In the online lab, students from two different engineering programs (mechatronics engineering and industrial engineering) were paired together using Zoom’s breakout rooms thus engaging in PL. Also, each student was issued a kit of parts necessary for the physical implementation of the lab designs off campus. Student pairs that finished their labs early were required to help other pairs. The instructor would combine pairs using Zoom’s breakout rooms

The public health topics of health disparities (HD) and social determinants of health (SDOH) are becoming vital components to medical curriculum engaging medical students as socially responsible physicians that can mitigate health inequities in their future profession. As these programs adapt to the inclusion of public health topics, as should engineering curriculum that relies deeply on the collaboration with clinical experts for translation of engineering health technologies. These shared principles may improve the ability for engineers on multidisciplinary teams to become competent on the social responsibilities of translating DDS to people and how they may impact health inequities.

generic and risefrom the K-12 context [3]. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and theComputer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) have well-designed definitions and frameworksthat can be opted from CT assessment[14]. However, they were developed for K-12 education, aresomewhat broad, and do not specifically target undergraduate engineering. In addition to thedifficulty of having very generic definitions of Computational Thinking coming from a K-12context, the frameworks based on which CT is being assessed even in undergraduate engineeringspace are also coming from K-12 space. The need for a specialized and consensual framework toassess engineering undergraduates' CT skills and learning outcomes is evident [35].Students

, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, & Medicine (STEMM). In spite of theimportance of faculty productivity to individual and career success, as well as the generallypositive effects of mentoring, research linking the two is lacking. Assessing possible connectionsis complicated by the fact that mentoring can take many forms, both formal and informal, to thepoint that a mentor and/or mentee might not even identify the relationship as mentorship. Inaddition, faculty productivity is influenced by myriad variables, making it difficult to isolate theeffects of any one of them (Dickeson, 2013). Finally, the definition and operationalization of“faculty productivity” is strongly shaped by one’s position type (tenure/non-tenure), andinstitutional
