Student teams also develop skills in project management, which includes projectplanning, scheduling and budgeting.The shift to remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic had dramatic impacts onundergraduate engineering education. Industry sponsored engineering capstone programs wereno different and suffered many of the challenges associated with the rapid switch to remotelearning. Campuses were closed and laboratories became inaccessible, thereby imposing severerestrictions on available resources to engineering students.

The pandemic disrupted engineering graduate students’ regular learningroutines, which typically include in-person laboratory research and mentoring activities. As aresult, engineering students during the COVID-19 pandemic may particularly experiencechallenges to their academic progress, career preparation, financial security, and physical/mentalhealth [1]–[6]. During school closures, faculty were

Funding support from industries such as NorthropGrumman, Raytheon, and Boeing has increased allowing EPIC to serve more low-incomeparticipants.Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, when most universities simply shut down theirengineering summer pre-college programs, EPIC swiftly changed its programming to a fullyvirtual program and served over 400 participants. EPIC created a new curriculum, activities,training, and planned on how to solve issues such as participants' ability to use school-issued orpersonal chromebooks.

However, due to Covid-19 pandemic thewhole class and the lab were converted to an online format. Consequently, the lab could not beheld in a traditional laboratory setting.It was decided to use MULTISIM simulation software in place of the physical lab. It was quicklydiscovered that not only MULTISIM can replace the traditional labs, but it can also be a valuableteaching aid in enhancing student understanding of circuit analysis techniques.This article discusses and demonstrates the use of MULTISIM software to

More specifically, these topics are often considered tangential to coreengineering topics, and are therefore relegated to breadth requirements for coverage, if at

This project’s knowledge base will help reinforce these topics in future applications of these technologies. 5. Conclusion and Considerations The pandemic working arrangement required a new approach and resultant design structure will allow more innovation and the ability to substitute different control ideas. Advanced RC control is the next primary milestone being sought in 2021, and our at-home investigations will provide us a head start when applying the tested concepts into practice.
