The average scorewas 3.16 and the standard deviation was 0.40. Students who passed their MFP had a higheraverage technical evaluation score average and less score variability than those who had failedtheir MFP.

An online surveyinstrument was created to circulate among construction students to a) evaluate internshipsexperience during COVID-19, b) identify adaptation of working environment in the office andfield, c) use of additional safety measures, d) identify any project changes due to COVID-19, ande) describe their role of the COVID-19 response team. The results of the student internshipsactivity are analyzed to examine the changes associated with their previous internships beforeCOVID-19 versus their internship during the COVID-19 pandemic.

documents that successful course completion is lower in online courses than intraditional face-to-face courses [21]. Both course completion rates and withdrawals are worse inSTEM courses [22], particularly in lower level STEM courses [23]. A lack of engagement andlower successful completion rates have been shown in online physics courses [24] as reported byMurphy and Stewart. Murphy and Stewart used eight years of data with 3,032 students tocompare face-to-face lecture courses with three semesters of a hybrid course with online lecturesand face-to-face laboratories. They found that there was a 11% lower successful completion rate(A/B/C) for students in the hybrid course compared to the solely face-to-face course. Thesefindings in STEM courses are
