Recently, Dr. Hsu has received a seed grant at UML to investigate how undergradu- ate engineering students’ digital inequalities and self-directed learning characteristics (e.g., self-efficacy) affect their learning outcomes in a virtual laboratory environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Hsu’s research interests include advanced quantitative design and analysis and their applications in STEM education, large-scale assessment data (e.g., PISA), and engineering students’ perception of faculty en- couragement and mentoring.Dr. Yanfen Li, University of Massachusetts Lowell Yanfen Li is an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

For all these reasons, the instructor reports feeling “burnt out” after thecompletion of the projects. Possible reductions in workload may be achieved through theaddition of the engineering workshop and technical laboratory instructor, additional training andearlier recruitment of teaching assistants to
