increasingseriousness in January, the author continued to follow the news, especially the local news. Thefirst communal spread occurred 50 miles away from the University at the end of February. As aresult, the author took efforts to prepare herself, her family, and her students for the potentialimminent impact to their daily lives. This was based on the changes seen especially in China whichwas the first hard-hit country.Through open dialogue in the department, faculty asked questions and began preparing theirstudents for changes in the course. As a result, the author offered her first test online class onMarch 6. This was accompanied by an evaluation sent out to students about the experience andany resources they may need. By March 9, the author gave her last

University, Long Beach (CSULB), USA, and served as the department Chair since 2016. In addition to his technical and engineering excel- lence, he was selected as a NASA JPL Summer Faculty Fellow twice, in 1992 and 2003, respectively, and the Boeing Welliver Faculty Fellow in 2006. His research interests include DSP/Communication/Control algorithms development, and implementation using FPGA and digital signal processors. He has pub- lished more than 100 research papers on Signal Processing, Communications, Controls, and Smart Grids. Dr. Yeh is a professional engineer in Electrical and is the recipient of five NASA Tech. Brief and New Technology awards from the NASA, the inventor’s award and other awards at the Aerospace

alone in this improvised face-to-face laboratory setting during the pandemic. However,the survey results also show that the students struggled to effectively collaborate with their labgroup members in the writing of their lab reports. Therefore, the paper also offers some solutionsthat may aid students in effective collaboration with their group members in the writing of theirlab reports. The structure of this improvised face-to-face laboratory setting and suggestedsolutions to improve collaboration among students may help other educators with a more robustplanning and implementation of their improvised face-to-face laboratory courses during thisCOVID-19 pandemic and beyond.IntroductionThe spread of COVID-19 became a global concern at the start

Linux systems that support parallel programming andmulti-core Linux clusters provided by the university. The goal is to support not only POSIXthreads and OpenMP shared memory scaling1, but also distributed memory MPI (MessagePassing Interface)2,3, and shared memory CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture)4. Ingeneral, the at-home use of single node versions showed no new issues compared to use of theproprietary software.Based on fall 2020 results, the final parallel program video appears to have positively motivatedstudents and gave them multiple options to engage and complete the course. While not as idealas all students presenting to each other, the new approach scales well for a large class, and allowsstudents to share their experience

engineering studentsrecounted and reflected on their experiences from a brainstorming session. We emphasize theirinsight on obstacles encountered and recommendations to overcome these challenges. Thisresearch therefore offers a student-centered viewpoint on the issues in engineering education thatmight hinder students’ brainstorming abilities or prevent full exploration of the design space. Byexploring these topics, we hope to offer recommendations for more effectively incorporatingbrainstorming practices into engineering education in ways that better suit student needs.In the following sections, we review literature concerning various design processes, ideationchallenges, and recommendations for increasing creative output. Next, we outline our
