In addition to these suddeneducational delivery changes, research findings indicate that supportive interventions to reduceloneliness should prioritize younger individuals during the COVID 19 pandemic [1]. This paperreviews the successful online transition of an in-person engineering innovation course thatutilizes project based educational methods to an online environment during the summer of 2020and the subsequent fall semester. In total, 174 undergraduate and graduate multidisciplinaryengineering students completed this course in the new online format during the summer and 131students took the course in the fall semester of 2020

It is one of themost accessible aspects of engineering for non-engineers. Non-engineers can learn the basics ofhow things work.Definition of Systems ThinkingThe applicability of systems thinking across many different fields has led to many variations ofdefinitions of system thinking (some representative examples include [1-5]). While sharing anessential emphasis on the foundational importance of identifying elements and relationshipsbetween those elements, varying definitions reflect the vocabulary and priorities of differentdisciplines.

Such experiences need to be well-designed,however, in order to realize those benefits. This can include the design of physical laboratoryfacilities [8], design of the program and projects [9], [10], and enhancements to physical andorganizational infrastructure [11]. Well

Emergency remote teaching (ERT) isdefined as “a temporary shift of instructional delivery to an alternate delivery mode due to crisiscircumstances” [2, p. 7]. Emergency remote teaching is distinct from traditional online teachingand learning, in which virtual experiences and online instruction have been planned from thebeginning [2, 3].
