includesestablishing an interchange of actions between the student and the video. Screen capture withCamtasia has the advantage of requiring a relatively small initial capital investment and logisticswhen compared to a video recording studio.Based on the experience of Professor Santiago to teaching the laboratory content of EE110, shebelieves that more videos may be needed to provide additional help for students [3]. For onlinedelivery, a problematic issue is helping students troubleshoot their circuits [3]. Hangouts, Skypeor video chat sessions with either the instructors or with other students are possible solutions.Another means is the development of a troubleshooting checklist for students to follow beforerequesting instructor help.Learner Control

during the undergraduate years. In order to achieve it, only academiccounselling is not enough; it needs a more intimate ‘mentoring’ for both incoming Freshmen andoutgoing Senior undergraduates. During the present crisis of COVID-19 and in the post-COVID-19scenario thereafter in engineering education, when online instructions are rapidly replacing in-presencelectures at the undergraduate level, mastery learning is even more important in order to avoidprofessional limitations, and in the long run of lifelong learning, professional obsolescence.Key words: concentration, COVID-19, online instructions and lab experiments, academic counselling vs.mentoring.IntroductionIn one of the Indian epics, Mahabharata [1], the master archer, Drona, was teaching

She received her PhD form the University of Texas at Dallas in December of 2017. Cosoroaba was a research assistant in the Renewable Energy and Vehicular Technology (REVT) Labora- tory and a teaching assistant at UT Dallas. Her expertise lies in electric machines and design, multiphysics simulations, and magnetohydrodynamics and its possible use for
courses withhistorically high failing rates. Such courses are being restructured, and a set of open educationalresources (OERs) are being developed, implemented, and tested [11]. OERs include lecture,laboratory, and recitation materials in electronic form, homework and laboratory assignments, adedicated website, and other materials such as recordings from instructors covering coursecontents. OERs will be made available in two languages: English and Spanish. Three courses areincluded in this effort: Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, Numerical Methods, andThermodynamics. Academic performance, retention, and students’ feedback obtained throughsurveys and interviews will be used to measure curricular outcomes. Websites to disseminateOERs

This is itself a valuablelesson, and this project will require continued work over several semesters. As successive 5students add to the project, we hope to develop an educational condensed matter laboratorypackage for our upper division classes. A continuing issue at institutions focused on teaching isthe lack of laboratory equipment compared to more research-minded campuses. This projecttherefore encourages collaborations with local research universities for more in depth analysis ofour materials. This exposes our students to the larger scientific community
book-length overview of PBL in engineeringeducation around the world. PBL has been used in medical education since the 1960s and it’s anatural fit for other applied science disciplines. Hsieh and Knight (2008) have written anexcellent overview of what PBL is and how it can be integrated into an engineering course toteach information literacy skills. The authors describe a pilot and an enhanced study comparingPBL and traditional lecture-based pedagogy in a first-year engineering course. The authorsconcluded that PBL was more effective in knowledge transfer, participation and interest thanlecture-based instruction.

institutions ofhigher education throughout the U.S. have experienced additional demands necessitated by themove to online platforms for all teaching and administrative work, as well as strains placed onresearch agendas as laboratories have been closed, fieldwork has been limited, and in-personcontact has been curtailed. At the time of this writing, many universities have remainedshuttered, relying on remote instruction and administration; others have adopted hybrid models.Of those that attempted to fully open for in-person instruction in fall of 2020, many had to asquickly shut down again and send students home, as outbreaks have followed openings [41, 42,43, 44].The economic impacts of the pandemic on the U.S. are many and range in severity.
