And one of the hard-learned lessons was thatsolely changing the mode of class meetings from face-to-face to virtual did not work effectivelyfor engineering education. As shown in recent studies on student perceptions of online learningduring the pandemic, students experienced declines in peer-to-peer and student-instructorinteractions in fully online courses [1]. Students also reported difficulties in maintainingmotivation and getting support, which has negatively impacted their online learning [2].During this unusual time, the flipped classroom particularly has drawn attention as an effectiveway to address the challenges associated with fully remote teaching.

autistic adults often have difficulty joining or remaining in theSTEM workforce [5]. With the goal of creating maker programming to enable autistic youth toengage in the EDP with peers and to prepare autistic youth for future careers, a multidisciplinaryteam created the Inventing, Designing, and Engineering for All Students (IDEAS) MakerProgram. IDEAS brings together experts in maker education, autism inclusion, engineering,co-design, and research to bring interest-driven maker clubs into autism-inclusion public schoolsin New York City. The following paper describes the ways in which IDEAS supports autisticlearners in both in-person and online formats, and how IDEAS teachers responded to adversityby redesigning the curriculum for remote learning

multidisciplinary study and the beauty ofcollaboration among students. Co-taught by a CS/Engineering professor and a visiting artist-in-residence, the course brought together students from diverse majors from Brown University andthe Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and aimed to augment existing artistic robots anddesign new dynamic interactive creations. Students developed both technical and artistic skillswhile also contemplating and discussing as a class the uses of technology and its interaction withinsociety. Some of the lessons learned from this unique course structure were the critical importanceof communication and the educational value of learning from peers. Students stated that the coursesignificantly enhanced and deepened their education

Construction of good concept questions is often difficult and time-intensive4. TheConcept Warehouse alleviates this barrier by giving instructors access to a variety of conceptquestions in the core chemical engineering curriculum along with providing a variety of ways toutilize these questions in their courses. Instructors can either assign these questions as homeworkor use them in class as part of active learning pedagogies (e.g. peer instruction). If using conceptquestions in class, the instructor can have students respond using their clickers

Tinto writes that, “For some students, especially thosewho, in the past, had struggled in school, the collaborative environment of the learningcommunity provided a safe place, a smaller knowable place of belonging, in which they werevalued and in which they discovered they could learn.”2 In subsequent evaluations, Tinto alsoidentified academic and social support networks as crucial components of student retention.3Laboratory projects can provide students with both
