of abilities required to succeed professionally in theinformation age. The top four of these skills include critical thinking, creative thinking,collaboration, and communication [1]. In a typical engineering education curriculum, criticalthinking is addressed effectively. Also, students develop their collaboration skills via project-basedcourses that have become increasingly widespread in engineering education in the last twodecades. Furthermore, communication skills are often addressed through the inclusion of atechnical communication course or by otherwise satisfying the communication component ofestablished general education requirements. Laboratory experiences and project-based coursesemphasize the development of technical communication

Engineering education research reiterates the need for engineering studentsto develop teamwork skills as part of the undergraduate curriculum6-8.Research on interdisciplinary teams has focused mostly on the barriers and bridges tointerdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork, rather than specific assessment methods9-13. Withundergraduate engineering students specifically, research has shown that these students aresubject to, and acknowledge, the challenges of “disciplinary egocentrism,” which is defined asthe “inability to think outside of one’s disciplinary perspective

learn how to write effectively and take away any ability touse writing to communicate, the way that writing is integrated, and the way faculty conceptualizeit, is critical.Successful writing integration takes expert disciplinary knowledge, not just structural planningand knowledge of engineering curricula. The model of the university writing center, one ofmultidisciplinary collaboration, encourages work between field experts to hybridize knowledgeand expectations and improve student learning outcomes and student experiences. Withoutcollaboration, it is likely that the cycle of writing integration into engineering education will repeat– engineering faculty will make a hard push to integrate writing as their stakeholders ask forimproved student
identified teamwork as one of themost valued and necessary skills for college graduates, as the majority of engineering employerswant engineering educators to focus on developing students’ teaming and collaboration skills [7].Despite the clear emphasis on teamwork in engineering and the increasing use of student teamprojects, our understanding of how to support engineering students to develop these skills islimited [1]. Some engineering education researchers consider how to teach teaming skills inengineering courses [9], but some others question if teamwork can be taught [17]. Moreover, fewstudies have linked student collaborative learning or teaming skills to specific instructionalstrategies.Case-based instruction asks students to analyze realistic

Some engineering educators have been forcedto implement a different teaching format within the online environment. Yet, because COVID-19is a recent phenomenon, there is limited literature highlighting best practices in conductingHyFlex, Virtual Synchronous, or Hybrid in the engineering classroom.
