As part of those actions, population was asked to remain at home in self- isolation [1]. This situation significantly raised stress levels of students, which hinders thelearning process of students due to depression and anxiety [2].

Incorporating hands-onlearning into the classroom environment involves several challenges including the design of theactivities, building and setup of equipment, and reallocation of limited contact hours. Whilechallenges exist for in-class hands-on learning, further hurdles, such as access to materials andactivity scaffolding, are presented when adapting hands-on learning for remote course delivery.This paper describes the process of designing a series of remote hands-on activities, called Handson Learning Days (HOLD), for an Introduction to Statics course based on materials that studentshave in their residences

Haptics refersto working with the sense of touch. Haptic technology refers to any technology that can createan experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user [1].Haptics is the science of applying touch sensation and control to interaction with computerapplications. By using special input/output devices (joysticks, data gloves, or other devices),users can receive feedback from computer applications in the form of felt sensations in the handor other parts of the body.

Engineering maybe taught as a stand-alone topic or integrated with other STEM (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) fields [1]. As a result, many students entering engineering majorsin college are likely to have some knowledge and/or preconceptions about engineering. It isimportant that from the beginning, students understand the important role of ethics inengineering.Engineering ethics includes both microethics and macroethics.

This, and literature like it, demonstrates the considerable efforttowards broadening participation in engineering starting at the pre-college level. Although teachers, principals, counselors and others are critical in enacting efforts tobroaden participation in engineering, less research has focused on this perspective. Literature isnot void in this area though, much research has focused on teacher and school counselor’s beliefsabout teaching engineering (Ming-Chien Hsu et al., 2011), and teacher engineering self-efficacy

The flipped classroom model was recently instituted at StateUniversity of New York (SUNY) Maritime College in a junior-level engineering course with a studentpopulation of largely varying abilities and career goals, including students who seek U.S. Coast Guardlicensure. The motivation for adopting the flipped classroom model was threefold: (1) The traditionalclassroom may be a disconnect for license students who often work in teams and spend many hours inactive-learning environments like ship simulators and on a training ship. Thus, it is reasonable tosuspect that the flipped classroom model may resonate well with license students who seem to thrive inthese hands-on
