Engineering Education, 2021An Insight into Students’ Feedback on Synchronous Distance Learning during COVID-19 LockdownAbstractThe fast growth of technology and internet in the last decade has built the necessaryinfrastructure for distance learning, and made the rapid transition to online teaching possibleduring the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are still a lot of uncertainties about the impactof distance learning on students’ learning effectiveness in engineering education. This paperpresents the survey results about distance learning in a Civil Engineering course during theCOVID-19 lockdown period and is aimed at understanding students’ challenges and preferencesin distance learning. The survey results reflect the students’ perspective

These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss otheravenues of inquiry to research further or experiment with. The student may also keep an online orphysical project journal documenting the progress made and reflecting on the work completed.The faculty supervisor may choose to review the journal to provide feedback.The rules and structure for an independent study vary widely with departments and institutions.They may be letter-graded or graded as pass/fail.

The importance of this next set of questions was that it shifted theirevaluation away from their expectations of the Flex Model and the instructor’s ability to utilize ittoward a reflection on how the shift from traditional in-person classes has impacted theirperceived ability to learn, retain concepts, and personal well-being.The pre-survey results for the experiential set of questions can be found below in Table 4.

timeframe. What varies in this environment are the grades students receive whichtheoretically reflect their differing levels of course performance. By extension, one is meant toassume that a learner with an “A” knows the material at a higher level than a learner who earneda “C” in the same class. In contrast, competency-based education is based on the belief thatactual competency in the specified area is more important than students completing the samecontent within the same amount of time. While not all digital badges are based on a competencymodel of education (e.g. some are awarded for participation) many are. This is another way inwhich the underlying technology affords a more informative credential. For instance, if thecompetency being

This indicates there were four independent factorsmeasured by the instruments. Most items were loaded onto one factor and only one or two itemsloaded onto each of the other three factors. As the factor analysis results from the ECTD beta Aand B versions were not the desired model that can reflect the five computational thinkingfactors, there was a need for another round of revisions.Instead of designing two compatible versions A and B, the 30 items from the beta versions of theECTD were revisited for reanalyzes of content and face validity.

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.

System, they do not think their faculty helped use it. A similar divide was identifiedin the students' perceptions of online classes. Respondents stated they did not enjoy the onlinecourses but felt like the online teaching was successful. In response to the perception of adaptation,respondents identified that they and their faculty adapted, with faculty to a lesser extent. Thus,students' perceptions reflect they are comfortable in an online learning environment but do notprefer it. The responses also indicate that students perceive that they may be better in the onlineenvironment and adapting to it than their faculty. This might be an expected outcome as facultyare older and perceived as slightly less capable of technology and adaptability

This is particularlyimportant if they are starting a research project while they are taking the course.Some of the reasons that are presented for conducting research are curiosity, the wish to solveproblems, salary considerations, and desired career paths. Students are asked to reflect on theirown motivations in the learning activities for this section.After examining research motivation, students examine the value of research to society. Thespecific

Some questions overlap several categories.In relationship to Accessibility, students felt very comfortable using the tool and referring toexamples, repeating problems to prepare for tests and to gain mastery. The areas where they didnot feel that it benefitted them more as compared to the hard text learning method was in notetaking and in referring back to information. The note taking was very minimal using the onlineversion of the book and rereading was rarely done. Repeating practice problems was done withsignificance (91%) and produced slightly higher mastery as noted in the grade’s analysis sectionof this paper.Personal confidence

This gap directly contributes toother academic problems; for example, the current retention rate of underrepresented students is10% less than that of the majority students in CBAS at MTSU. Moreover, this gap gets worseyear after year in the past three years.Closing this gap is more challenging in the sophomore year due to a well-known phenomenon incollege education known as “sophomore slump”: reflected as either students getting poorer GPAor lower retention rate, or both, in the sophomore year [1] [2
