earlier study showed a strong positivecorrelation between instructor review and peer review in a biomedical engineering laboratory,suggesting peer review could be an effective form of feedback [1]. Peer review also resulted in theperceived improvement of students’ ability to critique. Additionally, the use of co-created rubricsis an inclusive teaching practice that can improve confidence and self-efficacy. It speeds up futuredetailed feedback, as the students and instructors have a similar understanding about the elementsof the rubric and may enhance self-regulated learning [2]. Finally, standards-based grading shiftsthe primary objective to individual learning and achievement, removes distraction from low-importance errors and reduces the

If these classes can also have physical labs for making cathodes and anodes andassembling cells that would be beneficial as well.""I think so. I believe there should at least be a course or lab about analyzing electrode material,assembling cells, cycling cells, and analyzing cycled data. And even includes the deconstructionof a cell for possible recycling or analysis for side reactions and performance. This would havestudents see the construction of a cell from start to finish."

instructionhas been proven to be effective for teaching theoretical knowledge [8], teaching laboratory coursesrequire hands-on learning which were difficult to execute in a remote setting. In addition, project-based learning also suffered since students could not meet to brainstorm ideas and test theirconcepts and prototypes. Several research studies have been conducted in the past three years aboutthe impact of the pandemic on teaching and learning [9-10]. Studies showed that first-year studentsreported lower connections with their instructors. And female students reported statistically highereffects of online learning on their sense of belonging in engineering compared to male students[11]. Studies from the pandemic have also provided some guidance as

Beyond the subject of electrical engineering,active learning pedagogies have been applied extensively in industrial engineering [5-7].For STEM students, in particular, who learn best in courses with hands-on laboratories, aneffective online instructional practice uses a variety of active learning pedagogies as shown inFigure 1.

Moreover, these learning gains werecomparable to those experienced by freshman engineering students [41,42] and middle schoolstudents [28] completing IBL laboratory modules. These significant learning gains demonstratethat this IBL bioadhesives outreach module effectively teaches students principles of bioadhesives.Pre/post-surveys demonstrated that students did not experience significant improvements in theirattitudes towards STEM from participating in our IBL bioadhesives outreach module.
