responsiveinstructional changes that benefit students both during the COVID-19 learning disruption and intheir online learning beyond the pandemic.MethodsStudy PopulationThe study population was a subset of students who were enrolled in one of three environmentalengineering classes taught by the first author during the Fall 2020 semester. At the close of thesemester all students were asked through a post-semester survey to allow the researchers to usetheir grades and written comments and ratings on instructional strategies for research purposes.Not all students completed the survey, therefore the only results reported in this papercorrespond to the students who filled out the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval surveyand actively approved. In all, 32

of the students who passed vs. fail the class. The large differencein the percentages in F’19 and “w/o outliers F’19” is due to having three students who did notsubmit 7 or 8 labs (out of 8), thus automatically failing the class. Through the observedsemesters, the largest percentage of the students passing the class is for Fall 2020.3.2 Student Feedback for Fall 2020We run a survey at the end of the semester (December 2020) about the learning experience,where 11 out of 46 students responded (response rate 24.44%). The questions about the flippedclass and active learning methods applied to lectures are presented below.From Table 5 we can observe that the vast majority (81.82%) of the students agree that bothmini-lectures and quizzes helped

skills.Postsecondary Student Engagement (PosSE) Survey OverviewThe PosSE survey was spearheaded by Dr. Denise Simmons at Virginia Tech as part of an NSFCAREER award6. Beyond student demographic information, the PosSE survey asks surveyrespondents to 1) identify the type of out-of-class activities they participate in, 2) what factorspromoted and hindered involvement in out-of-class activities (examples: “gain experiences thatmake me competitive in the job market” vs. “lack of time”, 3) the positive and negativeoutcomes from participation in out-of-class activities (examples: “personal development” vs.“academic timeline extended”), and 4) affectual responses about their involvement as a student attheir institution. Survey results were published in 2017 based on

shows that properonline simulations resources can provide a robust alternative to in-person labs.The students in the other two labs were already using their own equipment prior to the pandemiclockdown. In particular, the computer network lab uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or some othermicrocontrollers with radio frequency (RF) wireless capabilities. The digital circuit design labuses Xilinx FPGA board. For these labs, conducting labs can be done individually and remotely.Labs demonstrations can be recorded and posted online through video-sharing platform such asYouTube. With the Video conference application such as Zoom, the labs instructions areconducted in real time and students adapt to the transition smoothly.2. ECE 2200L Microelectronics

, throughintegrated design. This paper proposes to extend a typical mechatronics course beyond traditionalengineering topics, and to modernize the mechatronics instructions with complementary quantumengineering topics. With the recent rapid advances in quantum technologies such as quantumcommunications, sensing, computers, and algorithms, it is imperative that next generation ofengineers be trained in quantum technologies, and prepare them for their future careers in the ever-changing industry in such areas. Furthermore, due to such progress and advances in the fieldsassociated with the applications of quantum mechanics, the integration of quantum technologieswith classical mechanical systems will be inevitable both in terms of educational and

generationwhen conducted with anonymous participants through some kind of computer medium) [1], [5],[6]. Their work found that anonymity can be advantageous and might improve productivity andcreativity. Since participants were anonymous, they were less reluctant to share ideas due to thefact that other members could not identify who submitted them. Another method for improvinggroup brainstorming is the use of divergent thinking frameworks that blend group and nominalbrainstorming methods. One example is the 6-3-5 brainstorming method, which involves silent,individual—yet collaborative—brainstorming [7]. The approach asks teams of six to spend fiveminutes developing three potential solutions on a piece of paper with a 6x3 grid on it. After fiveminutes
