lacking hands-on experience which are critical to improve student’sgrasp on fundamental concepts. To overcome this drawback of virtual sessions, the college of engineeringat UTPB designed a project kit that contained the required project materials and shipped those kits to thestudents, followed by virtual instruction related to assembly, execution, analysis, critical thinking,interaction with other students, and writing report. Thus, students were able to perform hands-on Virtual Engineering Summer Camp in the age of COVID-19 Pandemic 2engineering projects at home with the virtual instruction and supervision from faculty and undergraduatestudent assistants. The implementation, assessment, outcomes

to the engineering curriculum itself.”1This paper documents the new design structure to include literature influencing the re-build. Thestudy concludes with an exploration of a framework for addressing and managing the need tomaintain an evolving curriculum going forward. Included will be a discussion of the challengesdriving the need for a re-build as well as the evaluation of various options, some of which werenot selected to be pursued at this time.“The re-building strategy…is a fundamental change of academic view linking academia withsocietal context and needs…by emphasizing a shared set of values, identity and commitment. Itis about educating engineers who will become change agents after graduation, with anunderstanding of stakeholder
