Students of large size programs usually take courses in specialty areas of civil engineeringsuch as structural, geotechnical, transportation, environmental and water resources in their junior andsenior years and pursue projects in the senior year. However, students in small size programs withenrollment around 100 students will most likely be taking courses in all specialty areas of civilengineering.

A non-insignificant fraction of students also reportedconcerns about online instruction and its effectiveness. STEM students were forced to spend more timeon self-learning, and more time in general on their coursework [3].Blended (or hybrid) learning results in better learning outcomes for STEM courses (compared to non-STEM courses). Paradoxically, students taking those hybrid STEM courses report lower satisfactionand/or did not perceive the courses as highly [4]. This is a great motivation to
