Personalized learning: Recognize the diverse interests and abilities of the students and offer opportunities for personalized learning paths. Pre-assessments to gauge the students’ knowledge should be considered and then, the curriculum can be tailored accordingly. 8. Safety protocols: For in-person or virtual hands-on activities and experiments, prioritize the safety and well-being of the participants. Extra care should be given to ensure that all participants understand and follow all relevant health and safety guidelines

We encourage others touse these examples as a starting point to understand their own needs.This paper is particularly relevant to the Pre College Engineering Education community.

Control charts, standard operatingprocedures (SOPs), and regular audits are used to maintain consistency and ensure that the processcontinues to meet the desired performance levels.
