Drills focused oncareer development and were delivered remotely with corresponding quizzes.Fall 2021, University of Arkansas returned to normal class capacities and interactions with amask mandate. GNEG 1111/1111H returned to essentially the same content as Fall 2019 exceptfor Lego Mindstorm EV3 robots replaced Arduinos for the hands-on projects. We also returnedto in-person drills. In Spring 2022, GNEG 1121/1121H returned to themed based hands-onprojects. The mask mandate was lifted mid-semester.Grade Distribution in GNEG coursesFigures 1 and 2 show the grade distributions in GNEG 1111/GNEG 1111H and GNEG1121/GNEG 1121H

student teams [2].Study Setting and MethodsThe study setting is an introductory engineering course at University of Delaware, a mid-sized,research-intensive state university in the US. The course is taken in the first semester (fall) by allincoming engineering students across all majors. The course is taught in two identical, large-enrollment sections of ca. 350 students per section with additional instructional help fromundergraduate TAs called peer leaders [3]. From 2016-2019, the course was offered face-to-facewith twice weekly 60 minutes of lecture and active learning exercises in a large auditorium [4].In Fall 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the course was offered in an entirely online formatwith asynchronous lectures [5].

in introductory FYE classes at MichiganTech and Montana Tech during the fall 2020 semester. At each of these universities, studentsenrolled in their first year of engineering study are required to complete a common set of coreclasses, which include an introductory engineering course. These introductory engineeringcourses are designed to develop foundational engineering skills and promote student explorationof the various engineering majors available at each university. At Michigan Tech, SystemsEngineering became a possible pathway of study for students under the Bachelor of Science inEngineering (BSE) degree in 2017 and as a degree minor in 2019 [11].

employed for STEM courses. It can further be concluded that the same course structurecan be employed for STEM related courses as the structure has been applied to multiple differentcourses at different universities with different student populations and class sizes. Furtherimprovement and innovation led to the inclusion of TikTok videos for the experimentsperformed in the labs. This also proved to be a successful inclusion and innovation in terms ofstudent learning and motivation.References[1] Arshad, M., Romatoski, R., “Effective Learning Strategies: Design of Course Structure forEngineering Courses Aimed for Hybrid Classes”, ASEE 2021 Annual Conference & Exposition,Virtual Conference, July 2021, ASEE2021-32436.[2] Wiebe, E.N., Branoff, T.J
