Sophomore Year Cohort 3 HS Juniors HS seniors Freshman YearIn a study of the 100 largest public and private institutions in the United States, researchersfound that policies related to masking and in-person learning were near universal, while collegesand universities varied in their COVID-19 testing requirements, de-densification policies and 5cancelling of intercollegiate athletic activities [20]. At the university where this study wasconducted the following policies were implemented: 1) All classes went remote midway through the spring 2020 semester and remained remote for the summer session

, Epidemiology, and Humanities.Dr. Robin Fowler, University of Michigan Robin Fowler is a Technical Communication lecturer and a Engineering Education researcher at the University of Michigan. Her teaching is primarily in team-based engineering courses, and her research focuses on equity in communication and collaboration as well as in group design decision making (judgment) under uncertainty. She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these

[1]. Today, manyfirst-year students typically have little hands-on experience related to engineering [2]. Manyhave never used common tools before and do not know how common devices, such as carengines, actually work. Stephen Belkoff, an engineering professor at Johns Hopkins, noted thelack of practical skills for incoming freshmen, “These are all A students, and it took two days tobuild a shelf from Home Depot and get it @$$-backwards” [3]. While they are generally verycomputer savvy, incoming freshmen have little experience with engineered equipment. Studentsdo get experience with equipment in a variety of labs and in their capstone projects during thecourse of their college careers, but neither of these may be with actual equipment used

Research has delved into sociocognitive factors that play a critical role in studentpersistence in university. For instance, sense of belonging [1, 2], self-efficacy [3, 4], identity[5, 6], and intrinsic motivation [7], which are vital to student persistence in university. Forinstance, Andrews et al.
