New and revised classroom structures have been created to accommodate publichealth concerns while continuing to deliver effective education. Universities have adapted curriculum to be completely virtual or a combination of virtualand in-person learning. The combination of remote and traditional face-to-face learning,sometimes referred to as a hybrid or blended structure, integrates online discussion with limitedin-person class times [1]. Due to reduced capacities in classrooms, groups of students in

When coding for attributes, we considered perceived gender, collaboration, andself-identification. For profession, we coded the type of work depicted or described in thedrawing, e.g. designer, builder, train conductor, etc. Coding for activities involved taggingimages or words related to action, e.g. laboratory work, engineering design process, drawings,etc. The following section describes the implementation of the module and the results fromanalyzing the drawings.

transition from thetraditional physical laboratory to the online virtual laboratory. Before the pandemic, we alreadygradually adopted more and more virtual labs. Students log in to a virtual environment,consisting of one or more virtual machines, to perform hands-on exercises. They do not need togo to an on-campus lab at a fixed time. Students can do the virtual labs at any place and at anytime. Virtualization makes it possible for students to do some labs which are otherwiseunavailable in a traditional environment. In many courses with a lab component, F2F sectionsand DE sections shared the same virtual lab environment already, making the transition fromface-to-face to online easier.As described in papers previously [3]-[4], different virtual lab

IntroductionMost engineering and computer science faculty members at our public university prefer teaching in aface-to-face format in the classroom instead of teaching virtually. However, during the COVID-19pandemic, the faculty are asked to choose among five teaching modalities that cope with the pandemic.The teaching modalities offered by the university are ‘Traditional Classroom/Laboratory,’ ‘BlendedHybrid,’ ‘Flexible mode,’ ‘Remote Virtual,’ and ‘Online.’It is important to note that a complete learning management system [1] is widely implemented acrossthe

2 Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Department, United States Naval AcademyAbstractWithin engineering education, long-term retention of major concepts is a key objective. Numerousclassroom techniques combine to work towards this goal, including testing, laboratories, anddemonstrations. One highly effective, yet often underutilized, tool for improving long-termunderstanding is hands-on activities that students do at their desks, especially those involvingsimple items with which they are already familiar. Five characteristics are common to aproductive, in-class, reinforcement activity. (1) All students participate, preferably at their own desks. (2) Items involved are commonplace, familiar to the students, and low-cost
