which may facilitate theinnovation and life-long learning necessary within the community of practice[12-14]. It should notbe surprising then that PBL and other student-centered pedagogical methods are being employedin a range of engineering curricula including chemical engineering, biomedical engineering andcivil engineering[15-17]. Evidence from PBL applications in engineering curricula suggests thatPBL based education may have a limited effect on student performance when measured usingtraditional assessment tools such as exams, but the data suggest a marked improvement in theability of learners to embrace the complexity and challenge of real-world engineeringproblems[15, 16]. Yet, PBL is less well documented within environmental engineering

2020, few expectedthe COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. After the national emergency of the COVID-19pandemic was declared, universities in the United States took drastic measures to close campusand use the spring break week for preparing and switching teaching online. The fast growth oftechnology has laid the ground for online teaching [1] [7]. However, there are still a lot ofuncertainties about the impact of distance learning on students’ learning effectiveness [6], andthe forced online teaching and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic is one of those emergingtopics [4] [5]. Given the narrow time window for this transition, Rochester Institute ofTechnology (RIT) provides the instructors with three alternative approaches to deliver the

Collegemeans a new lifestyle and a new level of independence and responsibility that some students arenot totally ready to accept and face and this has a direct impact on their overall collegeexperience [7]. Retention in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)majors remains a national priority to meet the employment demands within the STEM fields [8].To provide support to these students during this phase of their life, pre-college academicactivities, specifically, engaging with active learning activities and fostering learningcommunities have been identified as programmatic elements

documentation that students’learning outcomes are being met [1]. Teaming is one of the outcomes – and it is one of therequirements which is difficult to “prove.” The challenges of meeting this learning requirementwere only heightened during the pandemic. To support a rapid shift in course modality, studentswere often tasked with using a wide range of software tools with a myriad of permutations. Thedisjointed nature of the software tools was further exacerbated when students were asked tocollaborate in a virtual team setting. As such, students devoted cognitive load not only to thetasking at hand for assignments but also to organizing files, communicating with teammates, andmanaging tasks in virtual team-based activities [2].Similar studies have been

To this end,the Microsystems and Nanotechnology (MSNT) program at UW-Platteville implemented a one-credit lab for freshmen MSNT majors in Spring 2012. Since this is a new degree program, thepurpose of this course is as much retention as it is exposure and recruitment of students to enrollin either the major or minor in MSNT.The instructional goal of this course is rather straightforward: to expose students to severalaspects of both microsystems and nanotechnology; to engage students in hands-on activities inboth sub-fields; to excite
