Time outside the classroom is often structured by the studentsthemselves in response to the requirements of their courses and competing demands. A focus onthis self-structured time enables us to consider the specific contextual factors that contribute tostudents’ SRL within these outside the class environments where they are making choices aboutlearning habits that impact what, where, how and with whom to study.

. Modern media and academic sources have repeatedlyreported the stress and impacts of an education crisis. Students of all ages have beenasked to isolate and learn without the social support of their classmates and teachers.The grief over the loss of community has been noted and described with reports ofemotional, mental, and physical distress [1]. The grief being described in the ongoingreports equates to a trauma, and while trauma can imply a psychological injury it can initself become a mental health problem [7]. As the pandemic overtakes its one-yearanniversary, educators must reflect on the potential impacts from the prolongedisolation and loss on both individuals and communities and those impacts on the futureof higher education.

course described herein is one component of a larger, NSF-sponsoredcurriculum development effort that seeks to encourage systems thinking in our students.Engineering curricula tend to be compartmentalized leading to topics (e.g., electronics, power,communications in electrical engineering) being taught in isolation without providing connectionsas to how they are dependent in real-world systems. Our project strives to give studentsexperience in making these connections. The course placement in the curriculum is just prior tothe student’s Capstone/senior project. The trend is that Capstone projects are becoming moreinterdisciplinary thus creating a greater need for students to have a systems perspective. Thistrend is certainly true in today’s
