more pressing in countries like the DR where most of its young population is from marginal communities. Young people are the country’s most valuable resource. It will be difficult for the DR to emerge as an innovative player in the global economy without developing this wealth.In addition to resources and cost, lack of prior experiences in the country with programs likeMACILE has made the program design more challenging. Another limitation has been the lackof studies dealing specifically with the conditions of education in Ytabo or the socio-economiccharacteristics of the communities. Research works dealing with education in the DR have beenvery general. A study phase was necessary, as a result. This phase helped develop

The users can extract the final results, kinematics or forces, but there isno information about the equations used in the backend. The availability of equations, for instance,will greatly help their usage in course work. If more information is available, students can improvetheir understanding of the step-by-step process taught in lectures or illustrated in technical books.During homework and laboratory activities, a student must spend a lot of time trying to manuallyverify the correctness of their work.

problem solving and project design are central to theteaching approach of this class. For example, the module on dynamics of fluids, which focuseson fluid flow in pipes, has been historically the most challenging one for the students. Theinstructor’s experience and the feedback from students were jointly pointing towards the need ofmore problem solving in the class to assist with the students’ struggle with some concepts. Theflipped classroom teaching method emerged as a solution, especially for modules as the onementioned above, since instead of leaving the students to struggle on their own with homeworkproblems they could spend more time to practice problems directly assisted by the instructor.At this midsize university there are other aspects

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed educators to conduct emergency remote teaching, withhands-on laboratory and skills-based workshops disrupted. The inability among educators toshift to online learning and create meaningful learning in their courses, along with the lack ofavailable remote or online laboratories and simulated technology-based skills training, exposedthe stark gap between engineering education requirements in the 21st century and what HEIscurrently have. Therefore, well-designed and planned pathways to transformation must beadequately studied to bridge the gap in engineering education to transform educatorseffectively in a sustainable
