many potential clients may implement ourtechnology only when they do not already have accessible technology in place. Thus, we have alsoprovided a way to calculate the break-even point that takes the cost of the accessible technologyinto consideration, which will undoubtedly yield a higher break-even point. However, we feel it isessential to be transparent with our clients and give them all the details of their investment upfront.Although this equation would need to be tweaked with improvements to our innovation, we viewit as a helpful tool that would help incentivize clients to utilize our technology and add accessibletechnology to their buildings.ConclusionAlthough the electrical output of our piezoelectric pressure pad may seem low given

the latest pedagogical research as well as looked for innovative approaches andtechnologies being utilized by other institutions. For example, [1] presents a novel approach tooffering embedded systems labs remotely by incorporating a cloud-based camera system withwhich students can interact. When considering offering our course remotely, we contemplatedsuch an approach, but we concluded that it would be most beneficial to the students to send themindividual kits. We understand that not all courses will work well in that format, but we found itto be the best option for our students.In our planning stages, we explored the approaches of other prominent universities. Notably, UCBerkeley highlighted some of the findings that we consider to be
from differentcourses of the Civil Engineering program just after our virtual visit activity, to find out theirperspective of the benefits they obtained academically and emotionally. We arrived at theconclusion that the alternative of a virtual site visit has indeed motivated the students and thatthey value being able to maintain the academical elements of the construction site visit.Key words: Pandemic, Online Education, Educative Innovation, Higher Education, Construction,Structural Engineering, Educational Innovation.I.

sessions outperform in connecting the students with one another and the instructor.Students’ feedback also suggests some challenges regarding the transition from in-person toonline, irrespective of the instruction mode. Those include: (1) students feel less motivated tocollaborate on assignments, (2) it is more difficult for students to follow the lecture and not getdistracted, and (3) it is more difficult for students to connect with each other. Finally, refinementmethods are presented that suggest ideas for addressing some of the challenges and issuesindicated by students.AcknowledgementThis study was supported by the University of Hartford Innovative Remote/Hybrid Pedagogygrant.References[1] V.

And that doesn't normally fit with engineering. (00:22:23)Her first answer was to identify as an engineer, but then she described engineers by commonstereotypes (“very logical, math and science oriented”) and how her interests (“creative writingor reading”) extend beyond that stereotype. Such a stereotype is particularly intriguing in light ofcalls for engineering education to integrate more opportunities to learn innovation skills (Byerset al., 2013; Ferguson et al., 2012; National Academy of Engineering, 2004), which depend onimagination.

. All students involved in the project-based curriculum indicated thatmore courses should be converted to this format and would recommend the program to their friends. Futurecareer goals of the students in the project-based curriculum were better defined and perceived barriersshifted from experience to connections in the industry. Incorporating a strong project- based learningexperience prior to the capstone design experience can give students a better learning experience, more self-efficacy with engineering topics, equivalent content mastery and better-defined career expectations.
