studies have examined the effectiveness of quickly adaptingengineering courses to remote instruction [2–4]. One interesting challenge noted in the literatureon remote learning during COVID was the difficulty of maintaining active student engagementgiven the lack of face-to-face communication or interaction. The idea of active studentengagement is broader than active learning; the latter focuses on activities designed to makestudents active participants in the learning process, as opposed to passive participants, while theformer requires students to actively engage in the entire learning process. Prince, Felder, andBrent [5] proposed several strategies that could be used to improve active student engagement ina remote setting. These include

Student Learning and Perceptions in a Strength of Materials CourseAbstractIn recent years, web-based learning systems have become more available for inclusion inengineering and technology courses. The purposes of these learning systems can vary, but theyare often promoted as enabling and enhancing student learning inside and outside of theclassroom, as well as helping reduce faculty time devoted to labor-intensive tasks such asgrading homework. Although research has been performed to investigate the effectiveness ofsome of these systems, there is a continuing need to evaluate their effects on student learning andperceptions. The study discussed in this paper explores the impact of one of these learningsystems, Mastering

Assessment techniques were employed in this course to evaluate the lifelonglearning outcome. Surveys were administered after each report where the students reported onthe value of this exercise to their engagement and effective learning in the class.

Education about climate change in engineering should represent these dynamic challenges withsustainability implications spanning communities, environment, and economies(The Climate ChangeEducational Partnership, 2014). Based on prior work we expect to identify strong relationships betweenstudents’ college experience and critical engineering agency. When topics related to sustainability areincluded in these settings we expect to find an increase in student willingness to take action on climatechange (McNeill & Vaughn, 2010).

advises engineers to use active voice [11].Technical writers sometimes refer to a study that found administrators prefer active voice andsubjects that are human agents (the "doers" of the action, e.g., "we evaluated the design") whileengineers prefer agentless passives (e.g., "the design was evaluated") [12]; they suggest toengineering students that they use active voice when writing for administrators and passiveswhen writing to other engineers [13]. However, this finding came from one survey withdecontextualized examples. Even if it were generalizable, the distinction would be difficult toapply in civil engineering since civil engineers often have mixed audiences: regulators who havean administrative function but are also engineers, immediate
