The course depended on multiple contentsthat were digitized before the pandemic started, therefore, the transition to online instruction was notchallenging for the lecture component, but the laboratory component was significantly impacted, asthe hands-on component could not be replaced for most laboratory activities due to theinaccessibility to laboratory equipment.The instructor and the TAs decided to use BCU for online instruction. Access to the BCU platformwas free of charge for both instructors and students. The most important features of the BCUplatform include: (1) recording of live online lecture and laboratory sessions; (2) using microphoneand webcam to communicate and to display course materials

. China is now rebuilding the undergraduate programs back to the levelsof pre-revolution standards. This past summer, most reopened institutionsgraduated their first class since the cultural revolution. Simultaneously,the Chinese are trying to complete the interrupted training of theirmiddle level faculty and to rebuild the basic infrastructure of itsbuildings and laboratories. It is important to recall that the Chinese have been heavily in-fluenced by the Russian model in the development of its universitiesand research institutions. China currently has rather rigidly separated 98institutions for teaching and for research. This bureaucratic struc-ture of the Chinese system creates problems in reaching

questions were based on the students’survey developed by the researchers at Georgetown and HEDS [14-15] , and modified accordingto the peculiar aspects of our university. Because many of the engineering classes at SJSUinclude laboratories, projects or other group experiences, we wanted to create our own survey toask faculty members about these experiences. The research questions of the study are: 1. What are the impressions of faculty members to the learning environments in engineering courses after the switch to remote learning in Spring 2020? 2. What was the impact of the switch online in Spring 2020 to lab classes?COVID-19 forced many universities to transition quickly to remote teaching. Since Spring 2020,there was been many articles

It is also arguedthat any meaningful change in classroom practices today (dominated by traditional lecture-basedmethods) must be mandated and supported by the university administration.
