IntroductionAs John Dewey, a well-known educational theorist, emphasized1, “hands-on learning such as labexperiments are essential in education experience.” This principle was challenged whenproviding remote/virtual mode of instructions due to the COVID-19 situation was forced. Thiswas stated in Alexander et al.’s report 2, “Higher education is no longer simply being asked tochange. Change will be forced on it, and not just from the impact of Covid-19.”The challenges on the lab courses were highlighted by Woodley et al. 3, “The challenge is tomove lab courses quickly online and still meet the learning objectives, which exists in all

with calipers, scales, pencil, and paper. Isometric sketches are producedto document this dissection process. Using the sketches and other data, the students make solidgeometric computer models of each part of the assembly. The parts are then assembled andmated together to illustrate the whole mechanical system. At this point a kinematics simulationof the mechanical assembly could be made. The students next generate .STL files of eachindividual part. These .STL files are transferred to the JP System 5 prototyping system andphysical mock-ups of the parts are constructed. To culminate the experience, the team producesorthographic engineering drawings of the parts.All of these graphical image s and documentation are arranged into a final written

questions on a specific ‘exemplary’ course(s); i.e.,one that explicitly embedded content on engineering ethics. For example, “Was learning aboutethics and/or societal impacts in this course helpful to you in your work? If so, please explain.”The survey then asked about the importance of ethics/societal issues in engineering/computingwork, courses and co-curricular activities in college that impacted their ethical reasoning, andrating the level to which they felt adequately prepared to face ethical issues in their work (1 to 10scale). The survey concluded with the frequency they had encountered various ethical issues intheir work and demographic items (e.g., year they took exemplar course, year graduated with BSdegree, undergraduate major, graduate

qualitative data using various coding methods. Two research team members readthe reflections and compared results. One researcher read reflections sequentially by student bycategory and identified salient patterns across participants. For example, Reflection 1 fromStudent 1 in the top 10% increase category was read first, followed by Student 1’s Reflections 2and 3. Then, Reflection 1 from Student 2 in the top 10% increase category was read, and so on.A second researcher read each reflection to determine similarities and differences incharacteristics and analyze patterns across reflections. This research team member readreflections as they were written chronologically within each category. All Reflection 1 samplesin the 10% increase category were read

Over 730 of these programs will beevaluated by EAC.The objectives of this study were to: • gather input on best practices and opportunities for improvement in all elements of the virtual review, including pre-visit preparation, virtual “on-site” operations, team dynamics, communication and training, and • provide recommendations for future virtual reviewsResults of surveys, author(s)’ observations, and recommendations to improve future reviews -whether in-person or virtual - are presented in this paper. Lessons learned address suggestionsfor improvement for future virtual reviews
