c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Teaching an Engineering Lab Through Hybrid/Virtual InstructionAbstractCurrently, all over the world most of the courses are taught in traditional face-to-face method. Inthe developed countries, more than 50% undergraduate and 75% of graduate students work eitherfull-time or part-time to cover their expenses and/or gain valuable work experience. Thus,students often face challenges to fit their work and class schedule in the traditional learningmethod. To accommodate these students, online teaching mode is becoming a preferredalternative. COVID-19 pandemic also enhanced the demand of this mode. Electronic-learning(E-learning) is one of the best solutions that can help these

. Tending to these preferences (e.g., individual vs. collaborative, linear vs.sporadic, verbal vs. visual) is important because they will influence the ways studentscommunicate or engage with a group engaged in brainstorming.We recommend that engineering educators work to better understand student preferences anddevelop approaches that accommodate the full range of them. For example, faculty could formgroups based on some of the ideation preferences noted by students in the recommendationssection of our findings. By offering a wide range of ways for students to interact, instructors canencourage diverse forms of engagement and involvement of all students in a team. Instructorscould use both structured and unstructured ideation formats to capture

Culturally-Relevant STEM Video Modules toPromote Intrinsic Motivation.” With the primary goal of identifying effective video designstrategies to enhance student learning in engineering courses, this collaborative research projectapplies an innovative instructional design method called Participatory Design Thinking (PDT) toaddress the needs of the target learners. The first step of PDT is Empathize where we study theperspectives of engineering students with diverse cultural and educational backgrounds towardsvideo learning modules. This paper focuses on describing the findings at Empathize stagethrough interviews and student survey, as well as a recommended design checklist to createrelevant and engaging video based on the findings.
