First-year andsenior students reported lower connections with their TAs than sophomore and junior students.Some students said they relied on technology, such as social media platforms to connect withother students and groupsIntroduction and Background Literature Recent research has documented the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on collegestudents' mental health [1, 2]. As a result, there is a need to examine students’ experiences amidthe transition from in-person learning to online and hybrid learning as a result of the COVID-19pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

analysis on the collaborative use ofAndromeda in an 8th grade technology education class. Students were given two engineeringprojects through WhiteBox Learning: Survival Shelter 2.0 and Dragster 2.0. WhiteBox Learningis a webbased STEM education software that allows students to learn STEM concepts, such asintroductory physics, and practice the engineering design process. Survival Shelter 2.0 andDragster 2.0 are two design projects that let students create an emergency survival shelter forhikers and a CO2 racecar, respectively. In this case, students used WhiteBox Learning to create,analyze, and simulate their project designs. Between design iterations, the class explored theirdesigns in Andromeda with the teacher acting as the facilitator. That
a key skill in engineering. With the rising complexity and magnitude of thechallenges engineers handle, teamwork has become increasingly important. This is reflected inthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology accreditation student outcome criteria3.5, which specifically highlights an ability to effectively function on teams. Engineeringeducation literature further demonstrates the importance and the responsibility of facultyinvolvement in the development of effective teamwork. To assess teamwork functionality,instructors can distribute a survey among teams for team members to provide feedback abouteach other. This kind of feedback is helpful not only for that specific team and class but also foridentifying broader, systematic

In addition, we designed interactionsto provide opportunities for all students to participate meaningfully as part of our effort to create aclimate where all students feel valued [5].Research in the field of engineering education indicates that strategies such as promoting a senseof belonging and fostering a growth mindset can support and enhance student learning,particularly among minoritized populations. For example, Rhee et al. find that strategies such as“fostering a growth mindset and/or feelings of belonging,” may be effective in “impactingretention and graduation rates of engineering and technology majors at a large comprehensivepublic university

The impact on learning and skillsdevelopment as determined through assessment of course outcomes will also be discussed.Relevant Prior Research on Senior Capstone Project ExperiencesOne of the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) published by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) states that engineering students should have the "ability toapply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration ofpublic health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors" [1]. Senior capstone courses are used as a summative assessment for this outcome becauseof the real-world problems the students face during the course series [2
