During this period, most institutions shifted to emergency remote learning whichaffected both how academics taught and how students learned. Studies have shown that this shiftto online instruction disrupted in-person laboratory courses, causing engineering students to loseopportunities for hands-on learning [10]. Moreover, some instructors were faced with a need toremove content from their courses in order to adjust to lost instruction time [10].

Did students perform better inengineering classes thanks to the responsiveness and availability of online instruction, or did theysuffer with the loss of laboratories and demonstrations in the standard classroom? Numerous researchers have grappled with this question, across many disciplines andaround the world. Fundamentally, it appears that COVID lockdown periods, especially thoseearly in the pandemic’s development (2020), increased the state of stress
