An indirect assessment of students’ behavior and attitudes as theynavigated through this transition will also be included in this paper. Since the pandemic seems tobe nearing its end, more work is needed to provide guidance on the future course of action incase of a similar global turmoil. With this paper, the author hopes to offer some guidance whileaccepting the fact that more work is needed to assess the post-pandemic conditions.The paper is divided into the following sections: Course Overview, Challenges due to COVID-19, Methodology for analyzing student performance and attitudes in pre

questions. The second step focused oncomparing the students’ understanding of each concept identified in step 1 to the expert orcorrect understanding. This resulted in a listing for each student of which concepts theyunderstood correctly and which they did not. The third step shifted the emphasis from evaluationto description, and resulted in a characterization of the details of each student’s understanding,beyond whether it was simply right or wrong. This final step also served to add detail to wherein the interview each student expressed particular conceptions. For example, while step 2 wouldshow whether a student understood normal stress due to bending, step 3 would result in acomparison of how the student understood normal stress due to bending

In either case, a project provides the platform for introducing the teamwork,project management, and communications topics that will be important throughout anengineering curriculum. Summers et al14 point out that projects have been added to manycourses within a typical program, and to maximize their educational benefit, project managementskills should be taught and applied, regardless of the scope of the project.Students like to see how the skills they are learning are used in the real world.

It is even more difficult to find two tenure-track positions, especially considering negativeattitudes sometimes held toward married couples in the same department or college. However,couples with similar disciplines do have somewhat of an advantage - it is often easier tonegotiate or coordinate two hires within a department or a college rather than within an entireuniversity. Given the scarcity of women in engineering and science, often a college can add anadditional position through a diversity hiring program. For this reason, some universities initiateformal programs for dual-career couples.Three married couples with degrees in science and engineering share their observations

Numerous other studies have painted asimilar picture of excess credit accumulation [11, 23, 14, 15].This has attracted attention from university and government administrators alike because credithours presumably have direct relevance for student success and finances as well as for publicfinances. Excess credits are accompanied by an increase in time–to-degree [16] [1] [8], and abachelor’s-degree-seeking student can expect to pay $68,153 in cost of attendance and lostwages [7] for an additional year of college. As for the public cost of extra credits, if all bachelor’sstudents pursued just three extra credit hours beyond their degree requirements, it would result inan annual expense of $1.5 billion for Americans [7].

While this was not taking the technical information and placing it in a new context, itwas an attempt to get students to think outside the box in terms of how they could learn thematerial.
