Current Study This study examines the impact of COVID-19 on sophomore to junior and junior tosenior year engineering students’ persistence. We examined persistence across gender, financialneed, race/ethnicity, and first-generation status. This quantitative study aims to examineengineering students’ persistence rates before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic over three semesters. The paper extends the authors’ previous study on the firstyear to second-year engineering student persistence prior to and during COVID-19 Interruptions(Authors, 2022). The following research questions will be addressed in this paper: 1. How does the percentage of students not returning to engineering compare prior to and during COVID

As a group, female students areoverrepresented in workshops relative to the general student population. Black and Hispanicstudents are also overrepresented in workshops relative to the overall course population, whileAsian student enrollment in workshops is slightly lower in proportion to their representation inthe corresponding lecture population. When examining the disaggregated survey data someinteresting trends were found with males more likely to give the highest rating to questions aboutthe workshop courses improving confidence and that groupwork helped them learn the materialbetter.

Due to these cyberattacks, 22% of the companies suffered aloss of customers as well as found difficulty with attracting new customers [1], and these attacksplace immense financial pressure on businesses. The average cost of business being disrupted dueto a cyberattack has increased from $1.56 million in 2018 to $1.90 million in the year 2019, a 21%increase [2]. Nonetheless, according to the Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report in the year 2022, 72%of the businesses in the United States are classified as Cyber novices i.e., they have poor strategyand execution in dealing with cyber-attacks [1].

throughout the program’s curriculum to complete a design project. This paperinvestigates the ongoing work of restructuring a traditional one-semester, 3-credit springcapstone experience in materials science and engineering into a two-semester fall (1-credit) andspring (2-credit) experience. During the restructuring of the capstone experience, the Human-Centered Design (HCD) framework, a method to formalize the design process in discrete stages,was integrated into the course content. Due to course catalog constraints, a 1-credit fall coursewas piloted in Fall 2022 as an elective for seniors (enrollment was approximately 30% of thesenior population); the traditional 3-credit course was still required of all seniors in Spring 2023.Aspects of HCD were

Results of this choice are presented in the Results section.There was also a concern that the higher level of complexity of Python could lead to a lowerlevel of student achievement in the course. Python is a relatively easy language to learn,however MATLAB is even easier. Some faculty members felt that students learning Pythonmight progress more slowly and finish the course with fewer programming skills than those wholearned using MATLAB.An objective of this paper is to explore the extent to which the second concern is true. Studentwork from two different semesters is compared. Instruction during Fall 2022 used MATLABonly; during Fall 2023, most of the course was taught using Python.

The number ofstudents in the senior project course was 10 and 15 respectively.The rubric was designed to evaluate six attributes of teamwork throughout the senior project teams:team member role, time management, contributions, attitude, leadership and participation, andwritten, oral and graphical communication. Each of those criteria was given four levels ofexpectation, exceeding worth 20 points, meeting worth 15 points, developing worth 10 points andbeginning to develop worth 5 points.

However, for undergraduate students transitioning from astructured K-12 system to an open academic setting, a structured pathway to student successbecomes essential. Without clear guidance, excessive freedom may lead to distractions,impacting learning and retention. By integrating flexible learning pathways, education canmaintain academic rigor while allowing adaptive approaches that support student success acrossvaried learning needs [4].Figure 1: Challenges in Conventional Education (Courtesy: National Center for Education Statistics -2022)The pie chart titled "Challenges in Conventional Education in the USA" illustrates four keyissues that impact traditional educational models: 1

The SRM is a general conceptual and methodologicalframework to depict voluntary or involuntary interpersonal relationships and interactionsbetween two or more individuals within groups (Lüdtke et al., 2013; Nestler et al., 2022). It iscommonly used in education and psychology contexts to examine interpersonal behaviors acrossgroup members (e.g., Kwan et al., 2008), and it has broad applicability in engineering educationresearch given the growing emphasis on team learning and collaborative project-based learningin the field (e.g., Loughry et al., 2014).

After weighing all pros and cons, the author decidednot to reduce the coursework because as a one credit college-level course, students are requestedto devote two to three out-of-class hours per week to this class and the amount of courseworkaligned well with this guideline. In terms of grading, instead of lowering the requirements onstudents’ assignments and quizzes, the author
