Lectures became fullyremote, and labs were offered to be hybrid where some students who were living on-campus orlocal participated in hands-on learning opportunities, and other students who were remote oroversea, were mailed parts kits. This allowed for students to still gain hands-on skills andinteract with their peers during the pandemic, even remotely. When the university resumedhybrid learning during the 2021-2022 academic year, the course utilized a mixed teachingmodality for both lecture and labs depending on the surge of Covid-19 cases. In the 2022-2023academic year, in-person lectures were re-introduced. Since Fall of 2020, all students in thecourse have had access to

: The Effect of Summarizing a Research Article on Students’ Area of Robotics Interest1 BackgroundThe need for capable, ethical robotics engineers is growing with the industry valued at 32.32billion in 2021 with anticipated growth of 12.1% from 2022 to 2030 [1], and projected 17,900mechanical engineering job openings each year [2]. It is imperative that undergraduate andgraduate programs prepare engineers for industry positions in robotics, and that they includeand encourage diverse groups of students to enter the field.Additionally, diversity among engineers in general is limited, starting with bachelor’s andbeing further exacerbated when entering engineering professions.
