Thefaculty reported that they changed their pedagogical techniques after the move online. Beforemoving online, 250 faculty had used active learning in their classes. After moving online, 34.9%discontinued active learning, 43.4% made minor changes and 21.3% made significant changes.Collaborative projects and labs were also impacted by the move online.

Although the contextsof the medical field and process industry differ, they both rely on high-risk decision making.Such an example promotes the role of safety and budget criteria in decision making.Construction management education highlights the importance of investing time towardsplanning at the beginning of a project as it impacts the site safety and project quality [23].

In face-to-face sessions, students wereintroduced to traditional Calculus I topics with lectures and problem-solving sessions. In onlinesessions, students were challenged to engage conceptually with content through writing-intensivejournal entries and discussion boards. Course instruction was enriched with a parallel civilengineering seminar where students conducted projects and demonstrations to connect Calculuscontent with future engineering

The process starts with the raw text from student responses. We thenembed the sentences in a high dimensional vector space with sentence transformers based on theBERT architecture [26]. These embeddings then undergo a combination of linear and nonlineardimensionality reduction steps using principal component analysis (PCA) and uniform manifoldapproximation and project (UMAP) [27], respectively. We used PCA to reduce from the originalembedding space into an intermediate embedding space since the technique is efficient atmaintaining variance in the original embeddings without
