American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Full Paper: Integrating the iPad Into the Engineering ClassroomAbstractBeginning in 2016, Norwich University (NU) embarked on the Digital Citizen Initiative with thegoal of including an Apple iPad as standard issue for all students and faculty. From 2016 to2019, pilot programs were conducted to test the use of the iPad in both classroom and laboratorysettings. In the Fall of 2019, all incoming first-year students at NU were issued an iPad alongwith an Apple Pencil. The authors performed a pilot study on the use of the iPad in multipleECE courses

recordings were beneficial for optimizing schedules and for reinforcing new concepts. Interms of teaching, some in-class demonstrations were not possible, however, effort is being made to aidthis through the development of augmented reality experiences. Students seemed more stressed(observed order of magnitude increase in email volume) with the imposed online teaching. Academicintegrity was a concern for high-stakes exams without some form of proctoring. The use of low-stakesassessments eased some of the students concerns and anxiety, but increased workloads for bothstudents and instructors.In terms of teaching tools, some students found it difficult to navigate and use the software but seemedquick to pick up on it.
