are sent to South Korea for8 weeks to work on their own research project at their assigned laboratories. In Summer 2019,the first cohort of five students completed their 8-week immersive research internship at a top-ranked Korean university.COVID-19 affected most, if not all, in-bound and out-bound international programs. IRiKA wasno exception. In late February 2020, the program was canceled altogether because no viablealternative could be offered for Summer 2020, as institutions world-wide were grappling withdisruptive challenges the pandemic brought on. In Fall 2020, with contingency plans in place andan additional Korean host site aboard, the project team solicited applications. However, in early2021, before the final selection of the 2021

distance of the scan was theleast difficult to accomplish, as different positions can be tested on demand. Initial testing wasconducted in laboratory environment where the ambient conditions were stable and controlled. Other variables, such as the effect of sunlight on skin temperature, or the effect of thewind blowing cannot be tested easily due to the lack of independent variables [1]. Testing for theeffects of sunlight, wind, or other factors depends on weather conditions and time did not permittesting under all possible conditions. The temperature decrease as distance increases is nearly a linear line, with the averagedrop in temperature being around four degrees Fahrenheit per foot. The figure below illustratesthis drop

In an online lecture such a direct presentation ofthe artefacts, as in archaeology, in front of the students is missing!

the research community have reported on the disruptionstheir classrooms faced [1, 2, 3] and the strategies they adopted to improve the effectiveness ofonline learning [4, 5, 6]. A popular research avenue has been to investigate the impacts of ERLin the context of laboratory and project work—aspects of engineering education which havetraditionally involved hands-on experiences unique to the in-person setting. In [1], the authorsexplain that a key issue arising when conducting labs online is the lack of access to conventionallaboratory equipment, and therefore the reliance on simulation. Interestingly, the authors in [5]show that lab simulations can provide students with a novel "opportunity structure", offeringthem more ownership over the lab

results for Q3 regarding student confidence with programming (inside circle is 2019 data, outside circle is 2021 data).These results indicate that student confidence in programming has improved overall. There issignificant decline in the “Not Confident” selection (a 57% decrease) as well as large gains inboth the “Very Confident” (26% increase) and “Extremely Confident” (29% increase) selection.5. ConclusionThe ENGR 111 course at the J. B. Speed School of Engineering (SSoE) at the University ofLouisville is typically a laboratory-based, hands-on course taught in a makerspace setting.

Closely related to the electronic platform furtherdiscussed in this paper is op-amp applications. When op-amps are covered in the course, variousop-amp circuits are discussed starting with inverting op-amps and non-inverting op-amps and then,comparators, integrators, differentiators, summing amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers, and someother op-amp circuits.

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed educators to conduct emergency remote teaching, withhands-on laboratory and skills-based workshops disrupted. The inability among educators toshift to online learning and create meaningful learning in their courses, along with the lack ofavailable remote or online laboratories and simulated technology-based skills training, exposedthe stark gap between engineering education requirements in the 21st century and what HEIscurrently have.

This was critical during pandemic conditions as no access to campuses or laboratories was allowed. The use of commercial software also allowed different loading conditions to be set in their models, especially for the wind loading combinations. During the first three phases, students were taken step by step by their professors and instructors into the different topics of a structural analysis, as this was their first course on hyperstatic structures. During this stage, students were given some problems oriented or related to the problems they would solve during the solution of the challenge, as a way of training. In phase 4, as indicated in Fig
