is a 2-credit semester-long course that is requiredfor all engineering and computer science students in their first semester; ca. 650-700 students.Social distancing mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic have given impetus towardsdelivering this in-person course using online and hybrid learning modalities. Students work on thesame team of 4-5 throughout the semester on scaffolded weekly activities related to the two PBLmodules and submit weekly peer evaluations via CATME Team Tools [3].The in-person course version (2019 and prior) consisted of two evenly split large lecture sectionsthat met twice weekly. Students were assigned to sit with their teams in the classroom, which hadtables arranged cafeteria-style in a large auditorium. The one

After this, boundary checking code ensures that the circle will not be drawnpartially off the screen. Lastly, the API calls LCD.SetFontColor(LCD.Red) andLCD.DrawCircle(x, y, 20) are used to display a red circle to the screen.Student OutcomeDue to the multitude of changes that were made to the project for online delivery, it is difficult toisolate the effect of the simulator. However, code quality and resulting game functionalityremained similar to previous years. In 2019, student code averaged 1.7 classes per game (n=31),and in 2020 student code averaged 2.23 classes per game (n=22). Figure 5, shown below, showsan

ofroad design is the geometric design that focuses on locating the road on a topographic map.Introduction to Engineering Design is a laboratory-based course for first-year students at theauthors’ university. In this course, students work on a civil engineering-related project during thesemester. In the Spring 2019 and 2020 semesters, students were introduced to geometric designby working on a road design project. Three main sections were implemented in this project. Thefirst piece was understanding of topographic map. In this piece, students were asked to select anon-flat site located in the United States. The topographic map of the selected site was printedand provided to the students. Students were asked to draft the topographic map in

Completion ofthis plan assignment was required before physical creation of the projects began.MethodsThe project was assigned by a single member of the instructional team in their sections over thecourse of three fall semesters. The submissions examined in this paper were drawn from the mostrecent iteration of the sequence, delivered in Fall 2019. The project was not given in Fall 2020,when the course was administered remotely. After institutional review board approval, studentconsent, and compliance procedures
