Compared with other similar summerresearch programs offered as in-person programs before COVID-19 pandemic, the impacts of thevirtual SRI program on the student participants were same or even better than previous in-personprograms, which was unexpected. The project team will continue running the SRI programvirtually in Summer 2021 based on the experience and lessons learned from Summer 2020 SRIprogram.Acknowledgement:The authors are thankful to the support from U.S. Department of Education Minority Science andEngineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) under award #P120A190085 and Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville.References:[1] Johnson, S.

We wanted to incorporate a project thatinvolves the students in such a way that they tie engineering to a daily activity they enjoy. Indoing so, engineering becomes more approachable and doable.After brainstorming and researching several engaging daily activities, we concluded music to bethe most effective collaboration with engineering.

In addition to providing the education andtraining for students in the IGERT program, it was decided to create the courses so that theycould also be used as technical electives for non-IGERT students with an interest in themicrosystems area. This had an impact in terms of course content for all three courses. Ratherthan design the courses such that they only had technical content that was consistent with thegoals of the IGERT program, with its emphasis on microfluidic systems, course content wasnecessarily broadened to include the more traditional microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)area and, in some cases, microelectronics topics were included.

games were proposed as an approach to create a virtuallearning community to encourage collaborative effort while attempting homework6. This modelhad positive impact on the students’ performance due to their high-level of engagement whileplaying these games. On the other hand, scaling such a model to include large number ofstudents or even different courses is not a trivial task. In addition, there are not too many gamesthat can facilitate the learning process in all the various disciplines. At the other end of thespectrum, a study suggested eliminating the graded homework in engineering courses andreplacing it with periodic quizzes7.

This dualism blocks all preventiveapproaches because it makes it impossible for students to understand how their technical designand decision-making contributes to the functioning technology of a society, and how this in turninfluences all aspects of that society, from its economy to its art10.To overcome the above difficulties, the transformation of undergraduate engineering educationcould begin with the creation of several “bridge” courses that mediate between the technical coreand complementary studies. What the students learn in these courses could then be built on intheir technical and complementary subjects to guide technological design and decision-makingby negative feedback, based on an

As a result, the proposed methodology prioritizes the students’ work inside theclassroom by incrementing the time spent on problem-solving sessions. On the other hand, intraditional lecturing, multiple topics are covered in a single session, this can be overwhelming formost of the students [6]. As a result, the core of ATCL relies on teaching a single topic at a timeby means of a short lecture. This frees up time for in-classroom problem-solving and it lets thestudents concentrate on one matter at a time. This is crucial if we really want the students to domost of the work by themselves and avoid
