In addition, the average number of new enrollments in undergraduate EEprograms is flat or increased slowly nationwide, while the same number for the other programsincreased [1]. On the other hand, many of the EE employers are looking only for highly skilledworkers or the students with a graduate degree. Getting graduate degree will result in more yearsof study to get hired in Electrical Engineering.The previous course plan in the EE program at California State University San Marcos was startingwith math, science, and general study courses.

Howeverfundamental it may be to engineering students, SHM is one of the more demanding topics andoften misunderstood.

Good physical insight can lead to a deeperunderstanding of displacement and oscillation, which is a pervasive phenomenon in STEM.

Introduction and BackgroundLabs are a vital component to learn engineering disciplines, since hands-on labs reinforce thetheory that the students learned in lecture. With the development of modern technology,universities are changing from face-to-face education to remote web-based learning. However, itis a challenge to bring hands-on labs online due to the complexity of the labs, which includevarious equipment, materials, and resources. Setting up a web‐system for e‐education requires asignificant amount of time, as well as the necessity of having a computer and other resources.Especially due to COVID-19, most

Most inclusive and equitable learning initiatives are spearheaded by departmentssuch as Diversity and Inclusion and Gender Studies with a focus on broader institutional culture[2-3]. Such efforts, however, grapple with inspiring STEM faculty [4] as STEM classroomsremain relatively neglected. Consequently, STEM students from historically underrepresentedgroups, particularly those with perceived lower social capital, may still experience inequities inthe classroom; inequities that include exclusion from high-profile team roles [5-9].Research shows that first-year, team-based design courses present a unique opportunity toaddress such inequities by providing early cooperative and collaborative learning
