instructionhas been proven to be effective for teaching theoretical knowledge [8], teaching laboratory coursesrequire hands-on learning which were difficult to execute in a remote setting. In addition, project-based learning also suffered since students could not meet to brainstorm ideas and test theirconcepts and prototypes. Several research studies have been conducted in the past three years aboutthe impact of the pandemic on teaching and learning [9-10]. Studies showed that first-year studentsreported lower connections with their instructors. And female students reported statistically highereffects of online learning on their sense of belonging in engineering compared to male students[11]. Studies from the pandemic have also provided some guidance as

experience is how individuals interpret and act on that information” [8]. 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].

Fall 211 5 2023 Spring 156 5Course Goals and StructureThe course goals are for students to learn: (1) to analyze data in the context of engineeringproblems, (2) programming using MATLAB, (3) to work effectively in teams, (4) to prototypeusing hand tools, basic CAD, and 3D printing, and (5) to articulate differences and overlapsbetween engineering disciplines and practices. These course goals are stated on the syllabus.Students in ENGR 130 meet in two 75-minute laboratory sessions and a single, combined 75-minute lecture per week. In the lab, students complete two-week modules that combineMATLAB programming and hands-on design projects, working in teams of three or

The course exploredengineering mechanics and design topics concurrent with applying physics topics in anengineering laboratory. A qualitative analysis was performed using a new reflective tool,PhotoVoice. The purpose of the assessment was to better understand the impact of the course onthe student vision, the operation of the course relative to what they have encountered in theireducational careers, and student-perceived learning outcomes. Analysis of student reflectionsrevealed themes of “Changed Perspectives,” “Engagement in the Classroom,” and“Brainstorming Benefits” when describing the impact of the course on their career visions
