hand,students should try to develop brainstorming techniques andresearching skills. A major problem arises when students are not ableto take courses and have lower credits because there is aclash in timings of the different subjects. In addition, manymajor courses are just offered in one semester and studentshave to wait a year to take it if they dropped them. Thisslows their graduation and demoralizes them from studying.The PI administration should find solutions for them likeoffering online courses.

members from other majors and other engineeringdisciplines. One reason for this trend is that engineering educators as well as professionals fromindustry have recognized the fact that practicing engineers are required to work with coworkersand clients that have a variety of educational backgrounds. Experiential learning is beingencouraged in engineering education because it has been recognized that students engaged in thistype of learning have better retention of technical knowledge and are better able to apply whatthey have learned in college courses to real life situations after graduation 1-3. Furthermore,industry and academia have identified the need for the development of soft skills in engineeringstudents. Among these soft skills includes

The students alsoindicated that they would like to spend more time in class working on the project.The emphasis on the formal written reports serves two functions. It treats the initial assignmentas a draft and gives the students an opportunity to improve both content and the writing.Recently the university approved a new general education requirement that includes disciplinebased writing and requires multiple drafts.

A recent review by Banerjeecarefully examined 71 peer-reviewed educational research articles, mostly in STEM fields [1].These studies document numerous benefits of lecture capture for individual students, includingimproved learning, higher academic performance, better work-life balance, the ability of studentsto complete and understand their own notes, overcoming language barriers, enhanced studentinterest in

Manystudents also appreciated now having recorded lectures due to the online learning environment,not just to provide flexibility if a synchronous class was missed, but to rewatch to getclarification on confusing topics and review prior to assessments. Recommendations related towell-being were also discussed by students such as spending time away from the computerscreen when not doing school work, having fun, connecting with other students, and keeping apositive attitude.ConclusionsAn online learning environment can be effective but presents additional challenges concerningacademic integrity compared to in-person education.
