, which they tend to speak about morethan others. We also probe more deeply into how and why the most effective teams or groupswork for students. In a mixed methods approach, our quantitative (survey) data first show whichacademic communities students participate in and how active they are in these communities. Ourqualitative data (interviews and focus groups) then explain how the most influential communitieswork for students. Our results show that while students reported participating at various levels,ranging from minimally to very active, in a broad range of academic groups available throughtheir home departments and colleges, most (53%) are active or very active in laboratory groupsand a large number (42%) are active or very active in

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 A Survey-Based Study of Students’ Perspective on Different Remote Teaching Styles During COVID-19AbstractAfter the outbreak of the coronavirus in early 2020, most educational institutions worldwide hadto rapidly switch to online learning as a precautionary measure. The sudden change in the teachingstyle had left both the instructors and the students with a lot to do in just a short period of time.Many challenges and obstacles in the new learning environment hindered the

Two years later, Joe was finally able to start the jobhe had always wanted, as the pastor of a church.Chris and Jon’s Story:Chris and Jon met during Chris’s final year and Jon’s first year of their common Ph.D. programat Northwestern University in Chicago. This meant that employment location challenges startedearly when Chris defended his Ph.D. dissertation and needed to find a job a year into theirrelationship. The two subsequent years involved a rewarding postdoctoral position at SandiaNational Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM and a staff scientist position at Honeywell Aerospacein Morristown, NJ.

, iii) Use of video forlearning, iv) How application of Universal for Design for Learning principles and online contentmay provide greater equity and access, v) The limited understanding of imposter syndromeeffects and interventions in engineering education and the potential to improve students’self-confidence. Three case studies are presented. The first case study described the use of thetool in CS and ECE courses and analyzed which student behaviors lead to statistically-significantfavorable learning outcomes. The second case study examined the use of ClassTranscribe toaddress challenges of a Bioengineering laboratory course and student preferences for further useof ClassTranscribe-based learning in Bioengineering.

the Foundry [1], research teamscan effectively integrate ideas via diverse perspectives through knowledge acquisition andknowledge transfer iterations wherein innovation can be effectively achieved in variousorganizations. An example of this is illustrated in Arce [4] through the development of the PIT. Inthat work, the application of the Foundry to the transformation of the computational teachingapproach for engineering students from a static, antiquated and fixed laboratory to a flexible,mobile model (i.e., MoLE-SI), was illustrated [4]. As part of this process, and prior to itsimplementation, this concept required a draft of a proposal to (successfully) request funds as well assubmit and defend the proposal to move the project forward
