Differences areparticularly stark at the doctoral levels, where underrepresented minorities accounted for only3.3% of STEM PhDs awarded in 2005.14 A recent longitudinal study of minority PhDs inSTEM disciplines found that long

studies have examined the effectiveness of quickly adaptingengineering courses to remote instruction [2–4]. One interesting challenge noted in the literatureon remote learning during COVID was the difficulty of maintaining active student engagementgiven the lack of face-to-face communication or interaction. The idea of active studentengagement is broader than active learning; the latter focuses on activities designed to makestudents active participants in the learning process, as opposed to passive participants, while theformer requires students to actively engage in the entire learning process. Prince, Felder, andBrent [5] proposed several strategies that could be used to improve active student engagement ina remote setting. These include

Student variability is compounded when institutional type, population, and financialresources are also considered. However, scholars have identified “high-impact” practices thatpromote student success. Indeed, the Association for American Colleges and Universities(AACU) and America’s Promise Alliance highlight college interventions that assist with studentachievement. One such idea is a learning community. These formal programs require cohorts ofstudents to take

For additional depth of study, the reviews of Bishop [2] and Prince[12] provide good summaries of the various methods and their documented impact.In the first-year engineering space, a number of institutions have adopted various degrees of the flippedclassroom model. The focus on design thinking and problem solving in first-year engineering programsmakes them particularly well suited to a flipped approach. Daher and Loehring noted that, while theflipped model they adopted required students to take greater responsibility for their own learning,course evaluations indicated that students did not find the flipped course to be any more work thanprevious iterations [4

In March 2020, our university quickly pivoted to remotelearning in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 and in the fall of 2020 our campus re-openedfor hybrid learning. The abrupt changes in higher education, brought on by the current publichealth crisis, affect students’ learning and mental health, in ways that will likely be long lasting.To measure the impacts of the pandemic on engineering students, twenty Likert-type screenerquestions were added to the survey, which was re-administered in June 2020 and again inSeptember 2020.
