laboratories are favorable and also provide learnerinsight on the new gamified activities introduced within the curriculum. We note severallimitations on the interpretation of these results, the need to collect more data over time and outlinedifferent courses of action for future improvements to these measures. Overall, from positivesurvey results and anecdotal feedback from teaching staff, we are encouraged to pursue moregamified strategies within our first-year curriculum and beyond.2. Setting Context – Classroom Description & Gamified ApproachesThe introduction of project-based learning to evolve our undergraduate engineering designcurriculum at McMaster University, known as “The Pivot” initiative, is leading to large-scalechanges to the

-strain curves from materialsamples upon which the remainder of the course content is built. The global pandemic forcedengineering students online, challenging materials laboratory instructors to adapt instructionaldelivery to remote learners.There currently exist no ABET-accredited undergraduate mechanical engineering programs taughtfully online.i Moreover, while many other college disciplines have extensive histories of successfulremote and online instruction, the engineering education community has limited experienceteaching lab classes online. Affordable, small, and easily mailed experimental educational lab kitshave emerged as a key advancement in hands-on undergraduate engineering instruction. ii,iii Asmall, inexpensive, and safe benchtop

was the first time infive years that the Island suffered a direct hit from a storm, and this time it was different. Hurricane Fiona 2did not bring the highest winds, but it arrived as a heavy rain system that poured over 20 inches of rain injust under two days. This impact completely severed the electrical system of the island along with aninvisible adversary that made the recovery even worse, humidity in electrical systems. All in all, we wenttwo weeks without classes; and just when we came back from the Hurricane, a political strike from theworkers, left us with more days without access to classes and laboratories. This might have

is what the traditional classroom is based on [4]. Interactive strategies arebased around class discussion and group assignments. Students are forced to interact with eachother and the instructor in figuring out the task or concept at hand. This method promotes activelearning and is heavily relied on in the flipped classroom model. Individualized strategies run offthe notion that students learn at different paces, and these strategies are heavily based onprogress in sequential steps. Experiential strategies involve putting a student in the field orsimulated environment that is similar to the environment they could potentially be working in.This type of strategy is very common when it comes to internships, laboratory settings
