, when the transition online inspired mid-semester syllabus revisions.Despite the somewhat negative comparison to typical homework problems, student attitudes tothe OEMPs were generally neutral to positive, and more positive in Mechanics II than inMechanics I (see Fig. 4). Note that self-selection bias may exist in the survey data, particularly inMechanics II where a smaller percentage of students elected to participate in the survey. I'd like to have more open-ended problems like this in my other non-lab/non-design engineering courses. I enjoyed completing the

students either preferred in-class active learning or were not sure for theSpring2020 semester. The percentage of students preferring online instruction increased for theSummer 2020 and Fall2020 semesters. As an example, just slightly over 50 percent of thestudents preferred in-class instruction as of the Fall2020 semester.Keywords: Active learning, In-class exercises, Fluid mechanics, Online learning exercises,1. IntroductionFluid mechanics is a core course for many, if not all, mechanical, civil, and environmentalengineering undergraduate curriculums throughout the world. However, previous studiesindicated that the students typically view the undergraduate Fluid Mechanics course(s) aschallenging, resulting in low student performance

, mostinstructors posted the course syllabus, copies of solutions to homework assignments, quizzes, andexams, and announcements on Bb. Bb was also used for grade reporting. In some courses, Bb wasused as a tool for discussion among the students and the instructor, as it incorporates a number ofsecondary features to enhance the learning experience and pedagogy. Bb was also used to sendemail messages to entire class, or the individual students. Instructors who taught online courses usedBlackboard Collaborate Ultra (BCU) for live online lectures and for recording lectures. However,different approaches for live online lectures and recording have been considered; e.g., one of theauthors of this paper [2, 3] has been recoding his lectures on YouTube and

learning objectives with associated Bloom’s taxonomylevels are provided to students with the course syllabus. These section-by-section learningobjectives are provided in Appendix A. At the end of this course, students should be able to: Conduct uncertainty analysis Perform basic statistical treatment of experimental data Distinguish between signals and systems Analyze signals in time and frequency domains Describe the effects of noise and filters on measured signals Apply digital computational tools to solve measurement problems Design measurement systems that include transducers, signal conditioning elements, and digital data acquisition

forimprovement was creation of a collaborative and inclusive environment. Overall, most scoresincreased between semesters. This may be a function of more time spent together as a team,learning each other’s nuances, and figuring out how to best work toward a common goal. Withthat stated, the teamwork survey was completed after the March 2020 pandemic stay-at-homeorders were issued and courses went online. There is a chance that greater empathy was realizedduring those trying times, especially considering that the competitions were canceled for 2020.The 2020-2021 teams responded (Table 7) with higher agreement with “my team fosters acollaborative environment” and “my team fosters an inclusive environment” than the 2019-2020teams. Overall, the 2020-2021
