Students’ preferences: In-person vs. Remote labsAs shown in Fig. 2-b, the survey results clearly show that students prefer in-person laboratories toremote ones. Seventy-eight students favored the in-person labs, while only six preferred theremote-lab experience. Eleven students were unbiased to either lab styles. However, most studentswere determined to continue with their study plans, undeterred by the pandemic, as only fourstudents had expressed their desire to have deferred the labs until in-person labs are resumed.3.4.

transitioned to 100% online teaching due to theonset of COVID-19, and this modality continued through Summer 2020. Responding to studentand parent requests, WIT introduced plans to return to limited in-person teaching for Fall 2020.These plans included adoption of CDC guidelines published at that time which required:face coverings to be worn at all times, individuals to maintain six feet of distance from others,and robust protocols for cleaning and disinfecting. To satisfy distancing requirements, a de-densified model for academic spaces was introduced leading to reduced student capacity inclassrooms and labs. This created logistical challenges with the execution of several labs in theENGR 1000 course. In addition, enhanced cleaning protocols raised
information exchange. These informal exchanges are important to engender in technology-enhanced learning to ensure that the students have opportunities for developing informal engagement and space.Purpose of StudyGiven the rapid transition to remote and online learning formats, we developed a study toinvestigate the tools (technologies and platforms), and methods used by faculty to engage withstudents in asynchronous and synchronous learning. In addition, we planned to gain anunderstanding of how students adopt technological tools to keep some continuity in theirinformal and social learning networks, so we also surveyed the students to identify thetechnology, platforms, and methods they use to communicate with each other outside of classhours

Lessons learnedParticipants were asked to describe overall lessons learned from teaching using the hybrid modeland plans for addressing the issues if they needed to teach under the same settings again. Fiveparticipants said they would require online students to turn on cameras to collect feedback andimprove
vectors, linear and rotational motion, Newton’s laws, friction, work andenergy, conservation of linear and angular momentum, collisions, and moment of inertia. Inaddition to foundational physics principles, the course has a heavy focus on teaching students howto develop a solution to a problem while reinforcing their critical thinking skills. The problem-solving method for all questions requires students to explicitly write out their approach in thefollowing steps: Given, Find, Figure, Plan, Assumptions, Estimations, Solution, and Reflections[14]. As PHY160 is taken during the first year, the requirement of the problem-solving approachon all homework and exams and lays the foundation for a good engineering and science problemsolving approach that

program received NSF support and began conducting formalevaluation of the various program components, including mentoring. For the past year,COVID-19 has both led to unexpected program changes (e.g. a sudden move to fully onlineinstruction) and created new difficulties in collecting data. However, all the mentoring activitiesdescribed earlier were ported to online modality and continued to be offered as planned. Thuswe see value in using this small, somewhat anomalous data set as part of our ongoing formativeassessment of the program, and believe it has utility in helping us shape the next, post-COVIDphase of our work.

Their role in schools tasks them with preparing students for futurecareer choices (Lewis, 2013). Prior research has concluded that lack of time and basicknowledge about engineering is a barrier for school counselors when advising students aboutpursuing engineering careers (Beck

students have limited exposure to engineering education, especially civilengineering. To fill this knowledge gap, the authors’ offered a new college-level, civilengineering course to high school students. Initial course planning anticipated an on-campusenvironment with a focus on hands-on learning. Due to COVID-19 and the university system’sresponse, the course shifted to an online platform. In this new setting, the course incorporatedboth synchronous and asynchronous modules with 18 students from geographicallocations spanning 11 time zones. The students had diverse prior exposure to civil engineering,virtual learning environments, and active learning techniques. This paper evaluates the newprogram’s effectiveness in increasing students’ interest

We tried putting time spent at the end ofeach day, plus a total at the end of the coding trail. We found though that teachers were most interestedin the total time; the detailed breakdown was interesting but not so important as to clutter the codingtrail. Thus, we plan to put the time info at the end of the coding trail, like below where the student spenta total of 42 minutes: 7/13 M----0 S---2|4--10 42minLikewise, teachers indicated wanting to know code size each day.

. 1Pandemic Impacts on Faculty CareersIn early 2020, as COVID-19 cases spread across the United States, university administratorsbegan to plan institutional responses. While the full scope of the pandemic was yet unknown, itwas clear COVID-19 would greatly affect normal university operations. By mid-March, manyuniversities had suspended in-person classes and closed student housing, shuttered research labs,banned university sponsored travel, and asked faculty and staff to work from home. At the sametime, many states instituted “stay-at-home” orders for all but essential personnel, leaving schoolsand childcare centers closed. Faced with these new employment conditions, and in many casesvastly increased caregiving demands, faculty adjusted their day-to
experience [International experience is required of all engineering students].The main components of the TIP experience include: • Intrapreneurial orientation courses • Mentorship by faculty • Mentorship by industry experts • Internship (including the opportunity for international internships) • Extra-curricular activities and projects focused on gaining experience with customer discovery, product development, and business plan developmentThe project has resulted in curriculum and pedagogical models that are aimed at fosteringintrapreneurial thinking, dispositions, and competencies. The models advocate for thenetworking and connection points between extra-curricular activities, curriculum devoted tointrapreneurial

technology advancement, the challenges of online instruction can be daunting as seen inthe lack of immediacy or engagement between instructors and students. Course design is asystematic planning process for developing learning experiences and it aims at ensuring learningoutcomes, assessments and activities support one another to provide students the best opportunityto learn [19]. The appropriateness of a course for online delivery relies on its consistent structurewhich allows learning, communication, and collaboration. As a result, the ease of online learningdepends on factors including cognitive complexity of course design elements such as alignmentbetween instruction and assessments, active pedagogy, and faculty support [19].
