As students and teachers were thrust into the world of distancelearning due to the global pandemic, high quality distance education that supports everyonebecame vital to the success of students.Course ContextThe 4-credit hour course that provides context for this study is a junior-level engineeringthermodynamics course based on mechanical engineering thermodynamics (as opposed to achemical engineering approach to thermodynamics) with some additional biological andbiomedical applications. This course itself has been offered annually at the Ohio State Universitysince 2012. A semester-long team design service-learning project was introduced to the coursein

The goal of this five-year project is to build a culture that fostersstudents’ engineering identities. Many changes have been made to the curriculum and coursesthroughout the curriculum so students could experience real-world engineering with practicingengineers. Engineering design courses for senior design projects provide students not only theopportunity to work with industry engineers on real-world design problems, but also thepossibilities to learn the highest level of professionalism. In the past couple of years, notablechanges in Engineering Design courses include using

Two other degree programs are worthmentioning in terms of their need to deal with contingent problems and in which practitionersoften operate on heuristics rather than rules: teaching and nursing. Until fairly recently thesewere considered primarily occupations that women went into which associated them with lowerstatus than engineering or management given historical belief systems.

organizational context.From a situative perspective, however, such misalignments are not unexpected (Johri & Olds,2011; Paretti, 2008). The situative perspective posits that learning – or any activity - is intimatelytied to the context (Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989). The context both constrains and enablesdifferent kinds of learning. Importantly, context applies to not only the physical setting, but alsothe culture, time, people involved, goals, and related factors. For example, in a typical academiccontext, the goal is often acquiring knowledge to demonstrate proficiency for an evaluator (e.g.,on a test or homework assignment). In contrast, at work, the goal of any particular activity mightbe to advance a project, finalize a design decision
