The engineering and technology accrediting board, ABET, issued informationrelatively early about changes due to COVID-19. ABET determined short-term changes due to COVIDwould not need to be reported (ABET, 2020). In addition to concerns about having in-person classes andlab exercises, another concern expressed was how to communicate online in ways that are as effectiveas in person. Universities were prompted to provide additional faculty support for teaching and someeven identified some “hacks” that could be used for a graphical interface (University of Nevada Reno,2020).
