interaction. According to Schunk35, students feel greater efficacy whenthey are given short-term, very specific objectives. These practices are all key elementsof the ETW, more because they are universal principles of how all students best learn,rather than being unique to a culturally diverse demographic. The Teaching and Learningseminar promotes these same principles while citing other sources3,26. The ExCEEdmodel was built on these principles. The concept of lesson objectives is so important thatan entire seminar is devoted to them introducing Bloom’s taxonomy5 to attain theappropriate cognitive level of the objective and providing a comprehensive list of actionverbs to help attain it.

Following thelaboratory development and conduct and analysis of survey results, this paper will discuss theconclusions gathered from this study with respect to the research questions above.According to recent research in alternative teaching and learning practices in science andengineering courses, students seem to respond more positively to inductive or active learningwhen compared with traditional lecture sessions6.

A survey of transportation engineering faculty in the United States [6] foundthat a small fraction (22%) held laboratory courses remotely during the pandemic. However, thestudy was not clear if this meant that the laboratory component for the remaining courses wereeliminated altogether or kept in an in-person format.

Engineering faculty have many responsibilities, including, but not limited to: teaching a heavy course load, laboratory research, writing publications, applying for funding, attending conferences, managing laboratory materials and safety, mentoring students, networking with industry, and professional development. Therefore, professors’ time is often limited, and professors may not see the value in adjusting a preexisting course. 5. Engineering education is often based on precedent; it is slow to accept change, especially relative to liberal arts
