through the post-pandemic. Due to changes in pandemic controlmeasures, each year’s course offering had a different teaching modality: in-person (2019),remote (2020), Hyflex (2021), and in-person / hybrid (2022). Assessment metrics used toidentify the most useful interventions included student surveys, faculty surveys, and directassessment of performance on graded events. The most useful interventions identified includednarrated slideshow presentations, recorded class presentations, and virtual laboratories and fieldtrips. Many of the practices introduced during the remote and Hyflex course offerings, such asthe ability to teach remotely, were beneficial for faculty members and will be carried forward forfuture course offerings.

: the practice of certain canonical problems in acertain collection of subjects is supposed to habituate the student into a certain way of thinkingthat we think constitutive of a physicist, chemist, or other flavor of scientist. But science alsoventures out into the unknown, past the canonical problems and the canonical experiments, andso students need to be formed in ways of handling these more ambiguous situations where rightcourse of action is not clearly defined. Many undergraduate science curricula includeopportunities for such formation, often in advanced laboratory courses or capstone/senior thesiscoursework. Assessment of these formational outcomes is possible, but not as straightforward asfor technical outcomes. The question then is

The main findings were presented to CJC faculty, staff, andstudents in a session where an interactive survey was administered to capture feedback on theeducational areas identified for future projects. Participants were asked to provide their input,suggest additional areas of need, and rank the proposed educational initiatives on a scale from 1to 5, with 1 being the highest priority. Study results indicated that the most critical needidentified by CJC participants was higher education and scholarship training, as well as hands-ontraining of laboratory/field equipment.

education intrinsically stems from the case method of approach, rather than from an orderly exploration of a given subject- matter field. Some experience in this “design” function should be carried in an integrated manner through each semester of the last two years and may be begun earlier if practicable [3, p. 81].While the implementation of the Grinter Report may have given too little emphasis to design as Edernotes, the Grinter Report assigns roughly equal time to the three areas of basic math and science,engineering science, and engineering design. The report recommends roughly a quarter of the curriculumfor each category, leaving a quarter of the time for general education, laboratories and other courses.Engineering
