education institutions, and the potentialimpacts of considering OR theories for engineering education.Introduction Resilience is a complex concept analyzed by the literature and can be defined as the“ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change”2. Since the COVID-19pandemic shocked the world, various research has been developed to understand and reflect onthis phenomenon. One scope of this research analyzes the educational context, and how highereducation institutions responded in their practices while learning about external shocks. Whilesome universities suffered from this unexpected disastrous scenario, some were sufficientlyprepared to smoothly pivot to the obligated online modality to learn and teach. This

O’Mahony, University of Washington Dr. O’Mahony is currently a Research Fellow at the University of Washington LIFE Center (Learning in Informal and Formal Environments). His research interests stem from a translation of latest neuroscience findings into practical applications in the classroom for teachers, students and parents. Pedagogical impli- cations for his research have meaningful connections to workforce learning and training in the industrial sector for adult learners. In particular, Dr. O’Mahony focuses a research strand to educational practices and principles in engineering and aerospace learning.Dr. Michael J.

Despite the body of evidence that should inspire engineering and other STEM faculty toincorporate collaborative activities in their courses, lasting changes in teaching practice havebeen slow to take place [2], [18]. Fairweather [2] noted that faculty perceive curricular changewill take valuable time away from research activities critical to promotion and tenure.

characteristics of effective PD identified in the literature include:(i) sufficient duration; (ii) focus on subject matter; (iii) hands-on activities; (iv) attention toproblems of practice; and (v) institutional support for implementation. It is further suggested thatteacher learning is best promoted by a set of complementary approaches, such as summer PD andonline discussions as follow up [24].Traditionally, the focus of teacher PD programs has been on preparing teachers to follow, ratherthan to create or adapt, innovative, research-based curriculum materials [25]. However, whenteachers do not understand the underlying model of the expert-designed curricula provided tothem, they tend to pick and choose elements of the new curriculum to fit their

Inaddition, the new equipment will allow us to develop industry-relevant learning materials, andprovide state-of the-art knowledge and experience to students utilizing the facility.
