work effectively in teams. Indeed, Kamp [6] writes that personalattributes like autonomy, organizational sensitivity, and empathy are increasingly important injob applications. Developing such a skillset requires that students master the ability to make emotionalconnections among theoretical concepts [7]. This means that engineering educators need toinvolve students at cognitive and emotional levels in authentic, meaningful, and immersivelearning experiences amidst a full curriculum. This study, which uses mixed methods to comparedata from two semesters (one face to face, one online only) of the same Design forManufacturability course, seeks to address this need by investigating the following broadresearch question: How might

2019Hoover [1] reported that there was a 20% enrollment drop since 2010 at state-owned universitiesin PA and forecasts another 15% drop to come. With a declining number of high schoolgraduates entering the system, the School of Engineering has made student retention a priority.Justification for RecitationIn order to effectively engage engineering students, improve passing rates, and increase retentionin their programs, universities have looked to innovative teaching pedagogies. Active learning[2], increased class time [3], recitation [4], project-based learning [5], and peer tutoring [6] arejust a few of the methods chosen to enhance traditional lecture-based courses. However, studiesfor some of these methods point to mixed results when integrated

. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Adventures in Transitioning Team-Based Learning from In- Person to OnlineIntroductionGood communication is fundamental to facilitating active engagement online and to providing anoutstanding educational experience. In the world of COVID-19 and the shift from in-person toonline learning, good communication between instructor-to-student and student-to-student can bechallenging. If a student is reluctant to ask a question in a traditional lecture hall, they may alsobe reluctant to ask a question in front of their peers in a Zoom meeting. Yet these interactions arecrucial to maintaining active student engagement in an online

partially during a face-to-face class meeting. The guided practice assignment at thebeginning of this module used the following resources: Section 2.1 “The heat conductionequation”, Section 2.2 “Steady heat conduction in a slab: method”, Section 4.1 “The well-posedproblem”, and Section 4.2 “General solution of the heat conduction equation” from A HeatTransfer Textbook, and the CU screencast video “Heat Equation Derivation.” The group activityportion of Module 3 took place during a face-to-face class meeting. Two conceptual questionsfrom the CU ConcepTests were posed and discussed following a Peer Instruction model [38].Additionally, students worked together to complete two problems.The work for Module 4 (Temperature Profiles) was completed entirely

The second (OEMP-3) was a rigid body dynamics group project(with an individual component) with student-proposed topics.The goal of OEMP-2 was for
