malware trafficIn a F2F class to be converted, if an in-person approach was used to achieve a particular learningoutcome, we would search for an alternative, online approach. For example, many labsperformed on computers in a physical computer room may be moved to virtual labs online usinga decentralized approach or centralized cloud approaches. More details will be discussed insection 3.5.In another example, in-class student presentations were integral part of some F2F courses. Afterclasses are moved online, students now create presentations using software (Mediasite Mosaic)on their own computers and upload videos to the University Mediasite server for peer review.If no learning outcomes are clearly defined in the syllabus, it is a good idea to

students of low socio-economic status. It isnotable that the necessity for student readiness as well as faculty training or mentoring programsfor online teaching to facilitate teaching methods, learner support, and course delivery cannot beoveremphasized. As this pandemic continues, there is a need to identify development areas toenhance faculty competencies in the online environment.Prior to COVID-19, the landscape of higher education was changing rapidly, especially in termsof delivery format. Now, the growth in online education participation has astoundingly increased.All colleges and universities in the United States have now fully transitioned to online education,not driven by the primary purpose of transforming education, continuing

summer 2020, the firstsyllabus was drafted with learning outcome and topics. The syllabus was sent to our ExternalAdvisory Committee (EAC) for their comments on whether or not any topic needed to bestrengthened/omitted. One challenge was to arrange so many topics for a 3-credit hour class in a15-weeks semester. The schedule assigned for each topic was included. With the EAC’s comments,the course topics were finally decided as indicated below.1. Introduction to NASA and the global aerospace industry (1 week)  NASA history and mission  Aerospace manufacturers and their major products (Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GE Aviation, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon (including Pratt & Whitney), Safran, Rolls-Royce.)2.

As it turned out,building community online has been an interesting challenge and one that the students seem tobe excited to help with.Prior to Covid, students would receive 3 points just for coming to class. There was norequirement that the students had to participate in class in order to receive those points. Myphilosophy is that every person in the class is valued and their presence simply serves to createand enhance our classroom community. On my course syllabus I had referred to these points asclass involvement points and made the argument that a student was involved in class simply bybeing present – regardless of whether they asked or answered a question, helped
