/environmental engineering have declined from15.5% of all engineering degrees in 2010-2011 to ~10% in 2017-2021 [2]-[12]. This representeda declining number of degrees from 2013 to 2016 (13,417 to 12,404), then increasing numbers to2020 (15,052). Further, ASEE [3] reported the year-to-year median percent change in freshmanenrollment for civil or environmental engineering of -3.0 and -3.6 in 2019 and 2020, respectively(among 167 institutions). In contrast, the number of mechanical engineering degrees hasincreased steadily from 19,241 to 35,120 in 2011 to 2020, comprising around 23 to 24% of allengineering Bachelor’s degrees.

Areas of experience, water floods and CO2 floods field performance and development, hydrocarbon storage caverns, CO2 source fields. The type of work I enjoyed the most was the development and implementation of plans to either improve field performance or expand field production. Nack for working with teams/groups of different backgrounds to achieve a common goal. Since 2006, first as a part-time instructor and after 2019 as a full-time lecturer teaching in the Petroleum Engineering Department at Texas Tech, the goal of my classes both sophomore and senior levels is to prepare young minds to become strong engineers capable of working

post-pandemic are overwhelmingly desirous of in-class instruction with no videos. Wefind that our graduate students co-enrolled in senior design electives have been less affected bythe pandemic in terms of acceptance of the flipped format. This gives hope that the effects of thepandemic on the student experience with flipped classrooms will be temporary. However, it is areminder that student acceptance of pedagogical tools does vary in time, and that instructorsshould be nimble in being able to respond to the needs of an individual cohort.References[1] Bishop, J., & Verleger, M.
