In this class, the students are assumed tolearn the applications of popular sensors and actuators and study wireless communication devicesand protocols. Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly.

learning has yet to be seen [4]. The lackof remote teaching in engineering, prior to the pandemic, has been attributed to the inherentnature of the discipline, which requires hands-on training to work with instruments and materialsin controlled laboratory settings [5]. Learning experiences that support practical knowledge andskill development are essential for engineers but are difficult to create in a digital environment[5]. Consequently, researchers have claimed that transiting conventional engineering courses thatfocus on content-centered and designed-oriented learning to online may not provide studentswith the in-depth learning required in engineering [5-6]. Furthermore, converting conventionalengineering courses to remote instruction

Hence, a separate design course sequence, where freshmen,sophomores, and juniors come together each spring to work on authentic design projectsmentored by practicing engineers, was added to the curriculum.

Using an equivalent face-to-face and online course modalitycomparison, Aragon et al. [11] found that course performance was not impacted by instructionmodality. If hybrid and online courses are well designed and carried out intentionally, the coursecan be successful in engaging a positive student attitude [11], [12].

Much of the research on empathy and its relatedterminology [20] is focused on teaching empathy to students and how students become moreempathetic [21]–[23]. For example, Walther et al.
