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

For example, sessions held in computer labs involve a professor orteaching assistant demonstrating spreadsheet skills or techniques that can be mimicked bystudents. While instructors can give real time feedback in computer laboratories with smallnumbers of students, measuring students’ spreadsheet skills at scale is quite difficult.Alternatively, multiple choice tests can assess spreadsheet skills [10].

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

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

makerspaces also offer greatpotential in serving broader goals of education [36, 40-42], such as the critical goal ofaugmenting first-year engineering retention. Some institutions utilize makerspaces as a means tooffer training and/or teaching new skills and/or knowledge [43]. For quite some time now, manycolleges have provided makerspace-analogous functionalities, including assembly/testing areas,machine shops, Computer Aided Design laboratories, and/or classrooms. What universities oftenlack is the inclusion of all of these elements in one location [44]. For campuses that doimplement such centralized accommodations, the majority of these makerspaces are utilizedpredominantly for informal settings rather than as a required program course.However, in
