prior experience as engineering students best equipped them to handle the change in modality.This study relates to a larger project that is currently underway to explore the interactionsbetween cognitive load experienced in engineering courses during the pandemic and self-directed learning readiness. Our work will provide important insights for using online educationto provide continuity of engineering instruction during future crises, whether biological,environmental, or other. While the COVID-19 pandemic is the first disruption of its kind in theUnited States during the 21st Century, extreme weather events like flooding, tornados, andblizzards are now regular disruptors across the US.

We included four groups of variables for analysis in light of the conceptual framework for thisstudy and used the general Input-Environment-Outcome framework to assess learning experience andoutcomes in postsecondary education [32, 33]. The focus of interest for the study was self-directedlearning. We included five measures—motivation for learning, time management, self-regulation,persistence, and help-seeking—to serve as the self-directed learning (SDL) indicators as theyrepresent the key characteristics of self-directed learners [10].

A more experienced instructor might make notes based on a composite ofknowledge in the field, but will still be constrained to coordinate notes with the outline of thetextbook. The textbook becomes the primary organizational vehicle for the course. However,some students will not read much of the textbook, relying instead on taking notes during class. 2The instructor uses the textbook-oriented notes for the classroom lectures, usually writing thenotes on a whiteboard or presenting them via computerized projection while speaking. Studentscopy the notes, either by hand or by using a computer. The instructor’s notes

educationliterature. In fact, modern expectancy-value theories argue that individuals' choice, persistenceand performance can be explained by their beliefs about how well they will do on the activityand the extent to which they value the activity [9, 10]. For example, a student chooses to engagewith different course materials because they believe it will increase their performance or overallunderstanding. Likewise, interest in a topic and empowerment to make choices in their learningengagement can determine whether or not a student performs well in a course. To betterunderstand the expected value of different course materials, the project leveraged a popular,validated survey methodology known as the MUSIC Inventory. The MUSIC Inventory measuresthe five

With this new knowledge, students can also pursue hobbies and projects relevant to thefield of electronics using their equipment.Lessons LearnedWith the potential of future disease outbreaks and the increase in online education, the need foronline learning is necessary to provide a laboratory experience remotely with physicalequipment. Furthermore, online learning can provide an opportunity for students unable to attenda physical university location. While challenging, hands-on laboratory learning can occur at adistance.

Final efforts on the project will include prelimi-nary evaluation of the ability to infer cognitive engagement from behavioral and emotionalengagements. As demonstrated in previous work, classifying emotions and behaviors is pos-sible to some extent, and psychological work has established the link between emotionaland behavioral engagement with cognitive

The Race/Ethnicitygreater trend, however, hasbeen that the White, non-Hispanics students are retained at a higher percentage than the Hispanicstudents.Conclusions and Future WorkThis work-in-progress project has shown that there are a few classes in the pre-constructioncurriculum that are most likely to cause issues with student progression (including Mathematicsand Chemistry). Further, the retention of transfer students was not a significant issue, perhapsbecause these students have already taken some of the courses with the highest DFW rates,although this theory is unconfirmed.

engineering majors would take MEEN 221 as their main staticsengineering course. Starting in the Fall 2015 term, the Mechanical Engineering Departmentdeveloped a new Statics course exclusively for MEEN students, MEEN 225. This new course wasdesigned to better prepare students for subsequent MEEN curriculum. Topics covered are verysimilar, however MEEN 225 uses group projects in addition to homework and major exams forassessment. The students must also attend a 3-hour recitation every week in MEEN 225.Since the Fall 2015 semester when the divergence of the MEEN 221 and MEEN 225 coursesbegan, the department has seen a much higher percentages of students earn a grade of a D, an F,or Q-drop in MEEN 221 creating higher DFQ rates.
