survey responses and 8 follow-up interviews werecollected. Participants included undergraduate engineering students taking courses with at leastone group project that was moved online or executed virtually as a result of the COVID-19 in thespring of 2020. Participants represented a range of engineering majors including Aerospace,Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer Science, Electrical, Material Science, Mechanical, andNuclear. Participants ranged in class standing from first-year students to fourth-year students.The size of the virtual teams and length of the projects that participants were part of also rangedfrom teams of two to 14 members and one week to two semester long projects. Virtual teamproject commitments ranged from 1 hour per week

Other researchers and educators have previously suggested that underrepresentation can beaddressed by re-evaluation of the “values and standards of science and science education”16 andthe development of a more gender-inclusive science and science education. Riley, et al (2009)call for the integration of “some classic themes of feminism [into engineering education andpractice] — asking who benefits and who is harmed, critically examining assumptions andpresumptions that create injustice, and creatively and energetically working for our dreams ofwhat could be” to produce both more socially

take on a leadership role in an organization, develop studygroups with other members, connect with industry professionals, and participate on adesign team. Most student organizations are typically led by the top students within anengineering program. Typically, there is a president, vice president, secretary, andtreasurer for each of these student groups. The responsibilities for each of these positionsprovide students with leadership skills that will later be used in engineering practice upongraduation. Other valuable aspects of these organizations are the projects that areperformed within each. For example, many organizations participate in regional andnational design competitions, such as the ASCE Concrete Canoe and Steel

Furthermore, negative feedback from malecounterparts are likely to have a greater effect on women due to this lower self-perception 6 .While these studies address the need to help female students have a sense of belonging andconfidence in the classroom, they do not address the disadvantages female students face in ahands-on learning environment.The importance of adding hands-on education to the engineering curriculum for both genders isknown. There exist many studies about the usefulness of hands-on engineering group projects inthe classroom. Industries like these because they promote useful soft skills like communication,project management, and team work, in

More recently,industry professionals, students, and faculty from various institutions participated in a March forScience on April 22, 2017 that pushed for “strengthening the bonds between scientists and thepublic, engaging in ongoing science education, fighting discrimination in our own institutionsand our communities, and insisting their legislators propose and enact evidence-based policies”(March for Science (n.d.) in Morgan, Davis & López, 2017, p. 108). In the aftermath of the FlintWater Crisis, engineers that practice public-inspired science have been centered in theseconversations (Akay, 2003; Ravesteijn et al., 2006; Cruickshank and Fenner, 2007; Edwards,2016

uncertain how to adjust their instruction tomotivate their students. Many instructors who design new laboratory-based and project-basedinstruction to boost motivation find that these efforts are often greeted by apathy or resistancefrom the students. This situation is further exacerbated by curriculum (re)design efforts whichemphasize the presentation and transmission of course material rather than everyday teachingdecisions that motivate, or demotivate, the students to learn the material3. Based on the premise that educational psychology must inform the practice of teaching4,this primer first presents and synthesizes a selection of recent theories of motivation. With thesetheories as a backdrop, we discuss how these theories can be used in

James Madison University. Dr. Nagel joined the James Madison University after completing his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Oregon State University. He has a B.S. from Trine University and a M.S. from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, both in mechanical engineering. Since joining James Madison University, Nagel has helped to develop and teach the six course engineering design sequence which represents the spine of the curriculum for the Department of Engineering. The research and teaching interests of Dr. Nagel tend to revolve around engineering design and engineering design education, and in particular, the design conceptualization phase of the design process. He has performed research with the
