The loose structure of the course, hastyadjustment of the project scope to accommodate remote work, and loss of access to informationand resources had a significant impact on the students’ experiences. Final project outcomes werelimited by circumstances, since the second semester is focused on fabrication and test. For somestudents, the experience and expectations for the more hands-on part of the project wereparticularly impacted.
