address theimportance of effective communication in a hybrid learning context can greatly strengthen facultymembers’ ability to realize instructional and program goals. One recommendation is to develop astrategic plan that responds to the needs of engineering faculty. This plan can encompassprofessional development sessions, the creation of asynchronous learning modules, guest lecturesby leading experts in the field, and other online resources. Moreover, College of Engineeringleadership can embrace an interdisciplinary approach by collaborating with personnel fromdifferent colleges such as those from education, communications, and technology to developrobust learning experiences for engineering faculty.At a microlevel, the data revealed certain

Literature ReviewTwo areas of literature are relevant to this study: instructional development in engineering; andinstructional development during the pandemic.2.1 Instructional Development in engineeringThe need for instructional development in engineering has become increasingly important overthe past two decades [5]. This has been driven by several factors, including outcomes-basedaccreditation of engineering programs, changing demographics and attributes of engineeringstudents, advances in instructional technology and cognitive science, and the increased emphasison scholarship of teaching and learning in engineering education [6].On
