Instructors having to createlabs is a problematic option since it is a very time-consuming overhead added to the regularactivities involved in teaching a curriculum. COVID-19 has recently compounded this problemdue to universities having to restrict access to labs.Creating virtual labs for cybersecurity classes has been given attention in the last few years, andASEE has published papers on the topic [1- 4]. Some universities are creating labs, while othersare using the NSF-funded SEED Labs Project. [5-7].

“relevant employability skills… before graduation.” In this case, employabilityskills are skills employers look for in potential hires that can serve as a metric for evaluatingperformance [2]. Due to the broadness of the term “employability skills” there is no definitive list ofwhich employability skills students are to gain, or what skills are to be transferred. Thismakes skill development difficult to track. There is, however, an expectation for co-opstudents to perform according to a standard. Competency lists exist for engineering bodiesand curriculums (such as CEAB and ABET) that schools adhere to. This gives programdirectors a focal point to develop curriculums around and a list of skills can then emerge.Even with these lists and the

While most students opted to follow the suggested schedule, about 15% ofstudents instead chose to delay course participation until later in the semester. This varying paceof participation had an unexpected impact on some of the most dedicated students, who found itdifficult to engage in productive discussions online when not all of their classmates wereworking as quickly through the materials.IntroductionSuccessful engineering programs often integrate experiential learning experiences throughout thecurriculum.

When asked why they were struggling, students expressed that they did not expect thevariety or complexity of the problems they were facing as engineers [10]. They felt unprepared[10] and that previous work experience was the only way to build the skills necessary to solvethese problems [13]. This struggle to transition into full-time work could be related to thedifferences in what knowledge, skills, or abilities are valued in an engineering curriculum overindustry [10], [12], [13]. To combat this struggle, academia can provide students opportunitiesfor work or work-like experiences throughout the curriculum.One such way to provide work experiences to

While it’s helpful to have everyone on thesame platform, we are looking forward to a return to an in-person environment in fall 2021.Another takeaway from student input and our own reflection on the course has been to includemore direct engagement with the competencies.
