Student engagementis an important component in online learning, and the research literature documenting theimportance of participant interaction in online learning is extensive. The Podcast course was organized into weekly themes and topics. The website for thecourse included a syllabus, assignments, weekly learning goals and questions, supplementarycourse materials, and related links. These materials were always available and served as theorganizational anchors for the course. Each topic was organized for an asynchronous discussionon an electronic discussion board during a specific week and was based on weekly

The online and classroom section of all courses had the same syllabus, textbook, instructor, homework assignments, exams and week by week schedule. Online learning modules for each chapter were made available to the students in-sync with the weekly material prescribed in the syllabus for each course. In the onsite version of each course, the instructor assured keeping pace with the syllabus. The pre-recorded online lectures were not made available to the students in the on-site sections of the courses. Thus the students had the same amount of time to work on homework and

“Historical Analysis ofDFQ Rates” presented in the next section. The rates higher than 30% have been of great concernto the MEEN faculty teaching this course. Most engineering departments accept a D letter gradefor successful completion of MEEN 221 for their curriculum; however those students who fail (F)or drop (Q) have to repeat the course which negatively impacts departments’ retention of students;increases cost of education; and delays students’ graduation. High DFW/DFQ rates like the onesin MEEN 221 have also been reported for Statics, Dynamics and other foundational courses inengineering curricula in other studies [1-8]. These studies have implement changes in the coursesthat involve more student-centered learning activities [2,7], online

In Canada (and much ofthe world), the Coronavirus pandemic forced universities to close for the safety of their studentsand staff, and so all instruction was quickly transitioned to “emergency remote” delivery (for afull discussion of the differences between remote and online instruction, see [2]). Undoubtedly,the most difficult transitions to remote instruction were design courses. Design coursesfrequently include complex, multi-disciplinary, and/or ill-structured project-based learning, andwill include at least some physical equipment in virtually all engineering disciplines (exceptingpossibly software engineering).

the barriers instructors face when using activelearning in first- and second-year STEM courses in online-settings at post-secondary institutions.Here, we focus on fully online courses, taught in both asynchronous and synchronous settings,that have no in-person component. For our purposes, we define active learning broadly, as anytime the instructor goes beyond simply lecturing with the students taking notes. Active learningleads to improved student learning, more engaged students, and increased interest in STEM (e.g.,[1]-[5]). Additionally, active learning increases the quality, number, and diversity of STEMgraduates [5]. Despite these positive findings, adoption of active learning in classrooms has beenslow [4], and researchers have sought
