Even though the literature providesevidence of increased student participation when team teaching took place [13], little is knownabout which strategies directly impacted this outcome. In addition, there are limited studiesanalyzing team teaching in multidisciplinary environments, where the instructors come fromdifferent backgrounds to address a common topic, but the existing studies report communicationand knowledge gaps among instructors [16].The following paper explores team-teaching strategy by discussing a team

However, prior research onengineering students’ career decision making indicates that degree attainment in engineeringdoes not guarantee students’ plans to pursue engineering careers after graduation [1]. While thereare numerous studies of engineering career decision making processes, most researchers studycareer decisions as students exit college or enter the workforce. In this paper, we suggestengineering students’ career plans are a set of evolving

No matter how much instructors seems sceptic of remote learning [11],instructors must not abandon hands-on lab training, even during the pandemic. Nevertheless,setting up and installation of the remote hardware and software labs have been a challengingendeavor.
