In a normal learningenvironment, these courses tend to be difficult due to higher expectations for problem-solving,math, and scientific concepts, and adding external factors such as the pandemic adds morecomplications.

Taught byengineering faculty, the EGR 101 course includes lecture, laboratory and recitationcomponents. Using an application-based, hands-on approach, the EGR 101 course addressesonly the salient math topics actually used in the core first and second-year engineering courses.These include the traditional physics, engineering mechanics, electric circuits and

Adeserved criticism from industry, where most students go after graduation, is that most universityengineering programs do not incorporate enough hands-on activities (experience) with actualequipment. This is referred to as “practical intelligence” [9]. U.S. undergraduate engineeringeducation has a heavy emphasis on theory with much less emphasis on practical applications[10].Wankat and Oreovicz write, “Despite almost universal agreement on the importance of designand laboratory work, there is a tendency to cut these programs since they are expensive, messy,hard to teach, time-consuming, and not connected to the university’s other mission – research”[11].

USAFA has nine institutional outcomes, and one is devoted to all graduatesbeing able to apply the engineering method. To meet this outcome, all students take fiveengineering courses as a part of the general education curriculum regardless of their major.

of Connecticut conducted a PBSL experience where approximately 400first-year engineering students designed and built Corsi-Rosenthal (C-R) boxes (DIY AirPurifiers) that trap 56-91 % of respiratory aerosols and improve indoor air quality. The C-Rboxes were built for a nominal cost of $60 per box, using a 20” box fan, four 20”x20”x2”MERV-13 filters, the box from the fan, and duct tape. The project was carried out by smallgroups (3-4 students) working in the First-Year Design Laboratory over four weeks. At the endof the project, the C-R boxes were distributed to the local elementary schools. During the pandemic, these first-year engineering students had completed their final yearin high school remotely, under lockdown. Thus, this C-R box

In a science course, Crocetti and Barr examine the use ofstorytelling and graphic novels to deliver science literacy concepts [4].
