perceived barriers to adoption.IntroductionEngineering programs are designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills needed tobecome successful engineers. There are inherent differences between the academic andworkplace contexts that are widely discussed in literature [1], [2], [3]. The application of contentin the academic context is quite different from the real world. Academic problems tend to have aclear, step-by-step solution that often leads to a single answer. Conversely, engineering problemstend to be ill-structured and ambiguous without a single clear answer [4]. Some of the reasonsfor these differences relate to the scaffolding required to introduce students to concepts and toassist with the evaluation of learning outcomes. This

Onlinecollege educational offerings date back to the late 1980s, starting with the University of Phoenix[3]. However, these examples were not set up for the traditional college students who were oncampus for a more intimate experience. Rather, the goal was to create an option for those whomight not be able to attend classes face-to-face due to location or schedule to still pursue highereducation [4]. Over the pandemic, all university students experienced online learning, not byoption, but by necessity. This resulted in the largest group of online learners the universitysystem had seen. The

Thus, the purpose of this paper is to conduct a preliminaryinvestigation aimed at identifying the virtues of engineering leveraging codes of ethics as astarting place. The four guiding research questions of this paper are as follows: (1) RQ1 - What are the virtues embedded within prominent engineering codes of ethics? (2) RQ2 - How do the virtues across prominent engineering codes of ethics compare? (3) RQ3 - What virtues are not part of engineering codes of ethics? (4) RQ4 - What are

However, this assumption of courseflexibility as a necessary characteristic of online education has recently been challenged asproblematic, and in fact prohibitive of an optimal learning experience [9]. For example,asynchronous learners often feel confused, requiring additional self-evaluation efforts to helpmitigate said confusion [1]. The identification of what synchronous elements matter most can helpinstructors to decide how to allocate their scarce time resources when designing and running onlinecourses, and help students to succeed at learning while avoiding lower-impact synchronousobligations in online coursework.Further, while online education has the potential to improve access to STEM learning forhistorically

Over the past two decades, practitioners andresearchers have shown concern for student workload within faculties and schools of engineering[1], [2].

Different types of course assignments are often concentrated in specificweeks, what amplifies learners' levels of anxiety and academic stress [4].
