We do not know theextent to which prior preparation in self-regulated learning would favor online students’ successin virtual internships. An international survey of 158 people who had completed a virtualinternship between 2011 and 2015 found that the majority reported gaining interpersonal andcommunication skills as well as skills relevant to their career development and strategic thinking,supporting the hypothesis that virtual interns gain skills similarly to traditional interns [39].Bayerlein and Jeske have also explored the extent to which

instructions compared to the 2019 in-person bootcamp was thatthe students who were not willing to reach out to the faculty or the student assistant for help,would get stuck for a while which also resulted in less engagement. In an in-person bootcamp,supervision and identifying the students that needed additional help was significantly easier.Therefore, the number of students who could complete this part of the project was lower than lastyear. A solution to this issue could be creating groups of two students similar to the in-personbootcamp, asking students to work with each other, and joining their Zoom breakout roomsevery 15-20 minutes to see their progress. On the third day, students designed a path for their robots to follow and developed the

: Word cloud visualization of the college-level challenges faced by the participantsIn addition to a word frequency query, a coding analysis was performed on the responses toquestion M1 from the matching survey to distill this qualitative information. In doing so, fourinductive codes were generated by the researcher while reading and sorting the data: academics,path uncertainty, personal and social struggles, and time balance. The “academics” code wasused to label any struggles related to coursework, such as low grades, dropping courses, or poorstudy habits. The “path uncertainty” code broadly labels any lack of clarity in students’ academicor career trajectory in engineering, such as being unsure about their major or having troublefinding an

In addition to faculty and staff who typically comprise departmental committees,graduate and undergraduate students were asked to join the committee so that all communitymembers are represented. Volunteers from each of the community groups were sought to ensurethat committee members were deeply committed to and interested in the cause. Since creation,the committee has been meeting on a weekly basis to develop the strategic plan, discuss ideas forimproving DEI in the community, and plan events and other actions to promote DEI.The goal of the DEI strategic plan is to create a diverse, equitable

[7]. TheCommunity of Inquiry Framework [11] uses social constructivism to outline three importantcomponents within online courses that contribute to student development and learning: socialpresence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence. Social presence can be defined by theability for group members to project themselves socially and emotionally, as “real” people (i.e.,their full personality) [11]. Cognitive presence is the act of constructing meaning throughsustained communication and is often developed through significant social presence [11]. Thethird component is teaching presence, which is how instructors design educational experiences tofacilitate social and cognitive presence [11]. These theories framed our methods and

Engineering undergraduatesare recruited for participation, and questions are designed to gage students’ 3D printing experience,frequency, and habits, including the intended use of printed items. Students are also asked toidentify their response to printing failures, along with their use of in-person and online resourcesfor troubleshooting. Student demographics are also recorded. In interviews, participants are askedin detail about each item in their online print history.
