authorityfigure, who traditionally was male. Authority has been studied related to other issues likeclassroom and laboratory work, but reading/following directions is not central to these studies[42]. A third possible explanation is that female students who self-select into engineering arebetter students on average than male students, which would involve a subset from other studiesof first-year college students [43]. This third hypothesis could be examined using standardizedtest scores or high school grades or rank. Since most students in the MEB course are in theirsecond semester of their engineering education, only one semester of grade data is available fromtheir university transcripts.When focusing on higher education, few examples of

graduates [5].However, despite extensive research about how to promote change in undergraduate STEMeducation, systematic change has been limited [6], [7]. Many change initiatives and models thathave been utilized to study and promote change have failed to achieve the adoption of research-based instructional practices at universities [8], [9]. Similar trends in research have beenidentified within engineering education [10]. Thus, it is evident that alternative and more holisticways to understand and support change are needed.The COVID-19 pandemic created a real-world laboratory to explore what instructional practicesand strategies were changed and sustained when instructors were forced to use new instructionalmethods under uncertain situations

For each project, essential mechanical units were provided and thestudents were tasked with developing and testing a prototype unit or in a laboratory setting.Because of the limited time allotted to the project during the semester (approximately 6 weeks),the instructor gave the specific problem definition to the students, rather than having the studentsperform their own problem definition based upon a more generic needs statement.The objective of the water purification project was to develop a prototype device for on-demandpurification of

students have when selecting courses can vary widely.For example, a student may have the option to select among three versions of a statistics courseor multiple versions of a thermodynamics course. These course options may differ in focus (e.g.,a general math statistics course versus a statistics offered in mechanical engineering) or teachingstyle (a lecture-based thermodynamics course versus a course that also includes a laboratory). Insome cases students may be offered greater choices to select from a menu with different courses(e.g., select a course that satisfies a history requirement) or have a much more open choice suchas a technical elective. Free electives give students complete autonomy to select any collegecourse of interest, and may be

This is consistent with previous findings showing that graduate students did wellwith gathering quality sources but not as well with evaluating or synthesizing that research in ameaningful way [15], [17].By the time they are eligible to take this course, most undergraduate students from NortheasternUniversity have had 1-2 writing intensive laboratory classes, a first-year module on how to uselibrary sources, and a class in technical writing in the discipline.
