All eighteen students have been retained in a STEM degree program (100%STEM retention). Fifteen of the eighteen graduated in Spring 2017, fourteen with undergraduateengineering degrees and one with a mathematics degree (83% 4-yr graduation). The threeremaining Cohort 1 students are on-track to complete their degrees during the next year, two inengineering and one in biology.

As the virus continued to spread across the country, various school districtsand localities faced mounting pressures to close school facilities. College students were asked to leavecampus and finish the semester remotely, placing them in an unfamiliar learning situation. When severalcampuses reopened in the fall 2020, outbreaks raced through dorms and infected thousands of studentsand employees.

Change readiness is definedas someone’s “beliefs regarding the appropriateness of, support for, and value of a change” [1].If unprepared for a sudden change, students and faculty could face negative feelings towardsmotivation and focus, which some researchers observed to occur at their institutions during theemergency transition period [4].

Social learning is also an important part of the college experiencefor many students where informal learning happens among students in their courses and studentorganizations. Since March 2020, the students have been experiencing a loss of interaction withtheir instructors and with other students which has impacted their ability to learn in onlinecourses [4-6]. Previously, the lack of social interaction has been reported as a weakness for manyonline courses which prevents students from learning effectively in an online environment [7-8].Further, both the student-instructor and the student-student

laboratories in higher educationRecent innovations in online education and the need for lab exercises as part of competencedevelopment in STEM education have led to the development of online laboratory solutions -termed online labs. Those tools include remote–physically real existing equipment used overdistance, augmented reality (real existing labs with VR add-ons), and virtual labs–a software-based fully virtual lab, often through simulation [1-7]. Online laboratories have gainedprominence because they have the potential to overcome some drawbacks of classical, hands-on labs such as equipment, time, capacity, or infrastructure constraints [7, 8]. Furthermore, ifused in addition to and not as a substitute for hands-on labs, online laboratory

[1] emphasizes this need for engineers to engage in “socially-embedded solutions” when dealingwith complex issues such as climate change, which has strong ties to agriculture. This skillset,often described as being able to “think outside the box,” includes systems thinking.A system can be generalized as a group of elements that interact to perform a function. Arnoldand Wade [2] define systems thinking as itself a system for thinking about systems with “a set ofsynergistic analytic skills used to improve the capability of identifying and understandingsystems, predicting their behaviors, and devising modifications to them in order to producedesired effects.” Thus, the set of analytic skills in this definition are the system’s elements
