Thedepartment has established a set of specific learning objectives to support the mission and thegoals of the department and meet the requirements of ABET accreditation under the EngineeringCriteria 2000 (EC-2000). The objectives have been reviewed and approved by the majorconstituencies of the department. A process for systematic evaluation and updating of thedepartment’s undergraduate educational objectives and outcome is in place. The faculty of theMechanical Engineering Department and the College Accreditation Committee conduct theseevaluations. The Accreditation Committee has developed
engineering, there were concerns about how social distancing, especially in laboratory exercises,would affect accreditation. The engineering and technology accrediting board, ABET, issued informationrelatively early about changes due to COVID-19. ABET determined short-term changes due to COVIDwould not need to be reported (ABET, 2020). In addition to concerns about having in-person classes andlab exercises, another concern expressed was how to communicate online in ways that are as effectiveas in person. Universities were prompted to provide additional faculty support for teaching and someeven identified some “hacks” that could be used for a graphical interface (University of Nevada Reno,2020). Other lessons learned include better ways to grade

during the undergraduate years. In order to achieve it, only academiccounselling is not enough; it needs a more intimate ‘mentoring’ for both incoming Freshmen andoutgoing Senior undergraduates. During the present crisis of COVID-19 and in the post-COVID-19scenario thereafter in engineering education, when online instructions are rapidly replacing in-presencelectures at the undergraduate level, mastery learning is even more important in order to avoidprofessional limitations, and in the long run of lifelong learning, professional obsolescence.Key words: concentration, COVID-19, online instructions and lab experiments, academic counselling vs.mentoring.IntroductionIn one of the Indian epics, Mahabharata [1], the master archer, Drona, was teaching

averaged61 graduates per year over the past 40 years. The CEE curricula are summarized in the Un-dergraduate Catalog as programs that “emphasize practical applications of engineering withsufficient theory so that an individual can grow with the future as new materials, methods, anddesigns develop.” The vast majority of graduates enter professional practice. Students whopursue graduate school directly upon graduation are recruited by a number of schools andhave been very successful. The department faculty is a relatively young, dedicated, and col-legial group that is regarded as exemplary throughout the university in terms of teaching ef-fectiveness and in professional development.The existing curriculum at UWP is typical of conventional CEE
strategies in the statics classroom.

institutions ofhigher education throughout the U.S. have experienced additional demands necessitated by themove to online platforms for all teaching and administrative work, as well as strains placed onresearch agendas as laboratories have been closed, fieldwork has been limited, and in-personcontact has been curtailed. At the time of this writing, many universities have remainedshuttered, relying on remote instruction and administration; others have adopted hybrid models.Of those that attempted to fully open for in-person instruction in fall of 2020, many had to asquickly shut down again and send students home, as outbreaks have followed openings [41, 42,43, 44].The economic impacts of the pandemic on the U.S. are many and range in severity.
