doing engineering with engineers [1] - [7]. As part of this culture change, thedepartment implemented several major curricular changes beginning Fall 2019 [1] - [4]. Thesechanges were designed to give students hands-on engineering experiences and engage them withpracticing engineers. The department introduced a new required integrated design sequence forthe first, second, and third-year students [3], [4]. The new design sequence complements theexisting year-long, industry-sponsored senior design experience. The circuits andinstrumentation courses were replaced with a lab-focused, two-course sequence combiningcircuits and instrumentation curriculum [7]. Senior design was retooled to better reflect theexperiences of working engineers [3], [4]. In

Participation in the interviews was voluntary. Human subjects'approval (PRO18060710) was secured for these various forms of assessment. The survey wascomposed of seven questions (see Table. 2) to identify the meeting mode and the pedagogicalapproaches adopted by each instructor. The motivation and obstacles in the adopted approach werealso collected. Later, we interviewed the surveyed instructors to reflect more on their experienceteaching remote classes, the problem noted in the survey results, and their approaches toovercoming these

The most pressing challenge for these courses in an online-onlyenvironment was ensuring students access to essential equipment and materials to design andconstruct a physical prototype. In general, programs responded to this challenge in one of threeways: (1) abandoning physical prototyping for an entirely “paper design” project; (2) requiringstudents to purchase third party construction

responsibilities as anengineer, what role you have occurring there,” [6, p. 177]. This seems very reflective of the moralitiesderived from professional roles discussed in Smith et al. [7], and helps further indicate a necessity forincluding role ethics and CSR as part of engineering ethics curriculum. Teaching CSR to engineering students acknowledges that professional engineers practice ethicswithin a larger societal and corporate framework with distinct roles that can affect ethical action thatengineers can pursue [7]. CSR itself has many weaknesses, and has been accused of having little influenceon daily corporate practices [22], [23], has not been fully internalized by many corporations [24], and is notclearly linked to engineering [15].

. Researchers have used a rangeof approaches to categorize students’ questions, varying in complexity depending on the contextin which student questions were being solicited (e.g., [2], [3]). Marbach-Ad and Solokove [4]used a large sample of questions generated by biology students to develop a six-level, "semi-hierarchical” taxonomy based on question sophistication. Encouragingly, their work also showsthat students are able to pose more high-quality questions after being instructed in the taxonomyfor classifying the quality of their questions [5]. This approach has also been adapted forclassifying questions asked by physics students as part of a written reflection on their learning[6].Along with explanatory question taxonomies, question-asking can be
