[21] Therefore, the following research questions were formulated todisseminate best practices to the engineering design education community: 1. What are the challenges that capstone design faculty faced during remote instruction? 2. How did those challenges impact the way faculty teach and approach capstone design? a. What adaptations have been made successfully to address the primary challenges? b. What advice can be provided to faculty who are facing those challenges?Survey Tool. To answer our research questions, a survey was developed and conducted with thebroader capstone community. As noted above, the survey intended to gain insights into thenature of

For example,considering the impact of the adopted ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000) within theUnited States, there is no surprise to see students' learning outcomes and learning process as oneof the major research areas between 2006 and 2010. Another major shift was the emphasis on theengineering design process that started along with the changes in ABET criteria and continuesthrough the early 20th century. Its impact

For example, Huff [4] andJohnson, Leydens, and Moskal [9] have augmented engineering classes with social justiceconcepts, and Riley [10] and Leydens and Lucena [6] have published books that can be used as aguide for doing so in many disciplines. A consideration of “sociotechnical” from a humanorganizations perspective is described by Subrahmanian for a design engineering class [11].Engineering has been introduced as a sociotechnical process in a new introductory classdescribed in [12].

Minimal guidance wasgiven in this first trial and, based on these first results, we compiled a best practices guide to set aminimum standard for future classes.Some key best practices we found were: • Keep reports concise and on topic to minimize the video length. • Videos should be no more than 5-8 minutes (for these projects anything longer was repetitive and unnecessarily impacted grading times). • When possible, use a screen recording app rather than an iPhone to take video of terminal operations so text can clearly be read. • Group presentations are possible using a Zoom
