isgenerally defined as “education being delivered in an online environment through the use of theinternet for teaching and learning” [6]. There are two general types of online content delivery,being synchronous (instructor teaching in real-time) or asynchronous (content is deliveredoutside pre-defined lecture times) [7]. In the Department of Electrical and Software Engineeringat the University of Calgary, both types of online content delivery are being used to teachundergraduate engineering students.This shift to online learning has caused a myriad of issues for students, including resourceintensiveness [8], limited attention span [8], and absence of traditional classroom socialization[9]. Students are reporting higher levels of perceived loneliness

The MMTK has also shown its potential to be ameaningful teaching and learning tool more broadly in undergraduate engineering education.With some future development work, the MMTK can be implemented in other courses includingintroduction to materials science and hands-on mechatronics courses.References [1] L.

smaller universities.The added costs to staffing, research spaces, and enrollment challenges are barriers to starting arich course for aspiring students.One way to creatively support a Cardiovascular Engineering course at smaller, under-resourcedprograms is establishing collaborative relationships with other institutions. With the sudden riseof remote learning tools and the increased proficiencies in remote delivery, the bridge to developmulti-institutional collaboration has never been more accessible. While it is more common to seemultiple institutions collaborate on research, collaborative education can benefit all participatinginstitutions. The diversity of teaching and research experience can provide greater depth andoffer broader expertise
]. 2 An effective add-on to any instructional method are apprenticeship models, which offermany attractive benefits for educating students to build prototypes through feedback loops. Thecognitive model of situated learning—which apprenticeship falls under—engages experts totrain students (novices), often placing them in side-by-side working situations [4]. This format isconducive to the teaching of procedural techniques, such as laboratory methods, shop methods,coding, and culinary processes. Both the presentation of content and the participation bystudents are necessarily active and social in this educational style [5]. These types of instructioncombine explicit and tacit knowledge [6] and in doing so focus on the practice of what it

leadershipnetworks should be considered in addition to communication networks to understand teamdynamics.Limitations include the sample size and the frequency of observation. The nature of the casestudies construct limits the ability to determine the impact of specific design stages or activitiesthat can be controlled in laboratory experiments. Future observational studies can address theselimitations.Future research is recommended to determine if these networks develop or change through thelifecycle of the project team and the role of project design team size on network characteristics.Additional similarity measures can also be applied for additional insights.
