’ understand- ings of core engineering concepts.Dr. Charles E. Riley, Oregon Institute of Technology Dr. Riley has been teaching mechanics concepts for over 10 years and has been honored with both the ASCE ExCEEd New Faculty Excellence in Civil Engineering Education Award (2012) and the Beer and Johnston Outstanding New Mechanics Educator Award (2013). While he teaches freshman to graduate- level courses across the civil engineering curriculum, his focus is on engineering mechanics. He im- plements classroom demonstrations at every opportunity as part of a complete instructional strategy that seeks to overcome issues of student conceptual understanding.Dr. Luciana R Barroso, Texas A&M University Luciana R.

positive effect on studentlearning. In 5 of the 14 learning outcomes assessed, the effect of HOLD was equal to or greaterthan the effect of attending lecture and had a compensatory effect, allowing similar learning tothe average in-person, pre-pandemic learning environment.IntroductionActive learning in higher education has been shown to support the growth of transferable skillsthat are increasingly necessary in the rapidly evolving workforce [1]. Active learningmethodologies help develop skills needed by graduates in the 21st century including criticalthinking, problem solving, and life and career skills such as collaboration [2].
