the lab courses. At the sametime, the three courses are scaffolded so that students’ build experimentation, communication, andteamwork skills over three semesters. In particular, Thermal Fluids Lab is aligned in the samesemester students take Fluid Mechanics, a semester after they have had Thermodynamics, and aterm before they take Heat and Mass Transfer. It incorporates a significant individual writing as-signment and final team project, in addition to a number of focused experiments with team-basedassignments.The first offering of Thermal Fluids Laboratory was delivered, as it was originally conceived, inFall 2019. Students attended in-person lectures, worked in teams in-person during the lab period,reviewed peer written work during in

to request more lectures and less labtime. Student attitudes towards working with their partner and peer-to-peer learning werepositive across cohorts and semesters. In light of this the authors describe methods of scaffoldedopportunities for independent as well as peer-to-peer learning. While student preferences varied, data is also presented on student behavior and achievement.Class attendance remained over 90% throughout all three semesters (including the COVIDSpring 2020 semester). Student feedback has indicated a sense of obligation to their lab partnersand perceived value of the in-class activities to be the primary motivators of attendance. Further,data on student achievement of summative assessments across topics has been summarized

to measureP-V-T relations for an ideal gas. The second part was a solar-powered hydrogen fuel cell vehicleand focused on energy conversion and efficiency concepts. The third is a project where studentsworked in teams to propose a project in their choice of one of two topics: one is a design projecton solar thermal energy and the other is a research project using calorimetry.The course consists of a 1-hour weekly lecture on Monday morning to discuss theory needed forthat week and present skills such as using MATLAB, uncertainty analysis, writing lab reports, etc.Students then meet in the afternoon on one day (Monday-Thursday) for a 3-hr lab session. Duringthis session, they are divided into breakout rooms to meet and work with their peers on

, online education effectively competeswith residential programs. For many disciplines, the interaction among students required fordiscussion or peer review of written work can be handled in courses through discussion boards,chat sessions, team conferences, and written assignments. Furthermore, for some courses,simulations and case studies can replace active learning sessions.[1] However, even with theadvances in online education, the challenges of most laboratory courses required on-sitelaboratory experiences because of the need for physical hardware and resources. Some of themost affected disciplines include engineering, the physical sciences and health sciences.[2][3][4] The 2020 pandemic created immediate and focused challenges that

[16]. We extended the approach reported elsewhere ofidentifying evidence of framing agency [17]. Such techniques build on observations that agencycan be detected in talk, such as by evaluating the subjects of sentences (“I” versus “we” versus“it”) and the kinds of verbs used (“did” versus “should” versus “must”) [18, 19]. Extending suchtechniques to the analysis of written artifacts presents additional challenges, as studentscommonly use passive voice in technical writing, a trend that is reflected as well in publications[20]. We therefore considered other evidence for agency and ownership, such as detailed first-hand depictions and clarity about decisions.Results and discussionWe organize our results by research question, first detailing the

trying to learn online using new technology. In some cases, students lived in areas withlimited bandwidth. Some students lacked the use of laptops or other computing resources and oftenattended classes via mobile phones.While working in an office environment was risky and discouraged, the lack of faculty interaction withpeers left many faculty feeling a sense of isolation. Normal hallway discussions were restricted, makingcollaboration such as co-teaching multiple sections of the same course much harder. Similarly, notbeing able to come to campus not only limited faculty-student interactions (office hours, recitations,etc.), it also inhibited student-peer interaction (group projects, teamwork, etc.) and stopped most ofextracurricular experience
