The responses varied fromno reaction or continuing traditional teaching strategies respecting through social distancingprotocols on campus, to rapid transition to fully online delivery [1].However, something was definite and common in all responses worldwide: transitioning deliverymode from face-to-face to remote learning, which in many cases was different from the classiconline pedagogy. This imperative transition was the beginning of a new era in higher education toestablish or expand the essential infrastructure for online education. Inadequately resourcedinstitutions and underprivileged learners have been hardest hit due to limited access to internet andtechnology

Faculty found themselves rapidly moving to online instruction inthe middle of the semester [1]. The continued use of online education in the 2020-2021 academicyear meant faculty not only had to finish out the spring 2020 semester online but had to investadditional time in learning new pedagogy and technology in order to significantly revise theircourses to be delivered entirely in an online format. This was particularly challenging for coursesinvolving labs, clinical work, studio work, or community engagement. A subset of students (andparents) expressed

They mustcommunicate to their employer, their team, their customers, and a range of other audiences.They must communicate clearly in both technical (e.g. reports) and professional (e.g. emails)areas. While most engineering schools offer excellent technical communication curriculums,many schools presume that education in professional communication skills are handled by theEnglish department or developed naturally.Professional communication development should be a central component in our engineeringprograms [1

In 2015, the university's chancellor heard from regional business leaders that theyneeded more employees with a knowledge of materials. This demand is supported byemployment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which defines the “location quotient” ofan occupation as its share of local employment relative to that occupation's share of nationalemployment. The location quotient for materials engineers in Indiana is 1.49, or 49% higher thanthe national average. [2] Similarly

While the total projected number of jobs seemslimited, there is one aspect that has become clear: the skillset associated with data scientists isbecoming a basic requirement within STEM disciplines. As such, while initial data scienceprograms have concentrated on graduate degrees, the growing maturity of the field, as well as therecognized need of its basic skills, has motivated more of a focus on educational programs at theundergraduate level.

Consequently,we conduct a systematic investigation of video platforms that enable active learning interventionswith clickable content and exercises to provide real-time feedback to students during virtual videolectures. We investigate several platforms to measure their aptitude for offering active learningopportunities.

The mostpromising approach is student-led, where senior students worked to change the student culturedirectly.Introduction and BackgroundImproving diversity in STEM fields is an important goal and has been widely studied. It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce. The percentage of non-white and non-Asian people in the USAis 31.3% while the percentage of this sub-population working in STEM is just 12%. In

In work related toreflection in engineering education, few have looked at creating validated surveys to evaluate thelearning outcomes of doing reflection. Other work in engineering education related to reflectionhas explored reflection, facilitated through portfolio construction, as a way to help studentsgrapple with engineer identity and “feel more like an engineer” without additional courses orexperiences [1]. But there is a push for the engineering education community to be rigorous aswe adopt the practice of creating validated instruments [2], [3].Additionally, reflection is also relevant to educational issues such as diversity in engineering andbringing broader

As can be seen in Figure 1, the aerospace engineering department at this institution doesnot seem to have a significant retention problem. The common pathway also appears to be quitetraditional; the vast majority of the students enter the department with their cohort (not as transferstudents), initially declare aerospace engineering as their major within the engineering college,and successfully finish their aerospace engineering degrees.

down by gender: while Black women comprise 6.3% of the generalpopulation, they made up only 1% of engineering degrees awarded in 2016 (7% and 2.3% forHispanic/Latina women).These numbers are a result of both lower initial recruitment into engineering and lower retentiononce in engineering programs.
