transportation engineering with lecture and laboratorycomponents at the Pennsylvania State University. Specifically, the study seeks to determine howthe transition to remote instruction impacted student perceptions of the learning environment asit relates to the development of their professional expertise. Students’ perception on the learningenvironment was measured using the Supportive Learning Environment for ExpertiseDevelopment Questionnaire (SLEED-Q) [1]. The SLEED-Q was administered to students in Fall2018 and Fall 2019 (normal instruction) and compared with responses obtained from Fall 2020(remote instruction). Prior data (2018, 2019) was collected for baseline comparison as part of alarger curricular revision project to examine the impact of

teachers may ask students when exploring the Report Card and relatedactivities are as follows: • Q: Which of these infrastructure types do you see and/or use in your daily activities? o Activities:  A discussion with students could include the infographic “How Much Infrastructure Do You Use Before Noon?”  Students choose one category of infrastructure to explore in more detail through creation of a short report, a photo collage of that infrastructure type (younger students),  Teachers lead a field trip around their community and have students identify the different infrastructure components around them

These equations are shown in Figure 3, the typical lecture slides, as theyshould be. However, especially to the inexperienced student, this is likely just a mess ofmeaningless equations which they will simply follow blindly. Providing even a little context –making a connection between Q and the flexural buckling strength curve – at minimum will givestudents a better feeling for what the equations do. Similarly, the new method overall strategyshown in Figure 4, and it is clear that in concept nothing changed between old and new methods.This, again, instills confidence in the future designer.

Onthe other hand, chi-square statistics also shows that gender, number of prior attempts and inclusionof adaptive learning module do not significantly influence the grade.MODEL AND ESTIMATION RESULTSEconometric ModelIn this research, we employ the ordered logit model for studying the ordinal categorical variablegrade with the categories defined as Fail/Withdraw (DFW) and Pass (ABC).Let j be the index for the discrete outcome that corresponds to grade for student q. In orderedresponse model, the discrete grade levels (𝑦𝑞 ) are assumed to be associated with an underlyingcontinuous latent variable (𝑦𝑞∗ ). This latent variable is typically specified as the
