It consistently maintained high speeds and providedsufficient resistance within the gears. Fortunately, after many attempted designs, we finally founda wheel that fulfilled our project’s high goals and standards. The wheel was originally intendedfor use on a motorized robot but happened to be the right size, shape and maintained a considerableamount of durability. Consequently, we shifted our focus to plastic materials and went with theresources that our engineering program provided and 3D printed our rotating wheel. We mademeasurements and tried to fit all our pieces together. The wheel needed to be able to fit a

To quote one of the students: “This was the firstreasonable course I ever took” - it seems something must be wrong with the undergraduatecourses in electrical engineering. It is often well appreciated that our course combines thesolution of a practical problem, and thus a hands-on approach to the problem, while it alsoprovides the theoretical background material. Thus, students seem to like learning how thingslike JPEG work by actually creating a working implementation of their own.From the critical voices we collected, the two issues coming up most are that the high amount ofmathematics in the course is disliked, and that the software design meetings have been found tobe annoying.

Results from coding reveal that the loss ofexperience due to COVID-19 parallels a lack of ownership of expertise by three participants andclaims of having a faulty, or underdeveloped, intuition. Further analysis of responses indicatesthat hands-on and collaborative experiences are most helpful for developing expertise andintuition, highlighting their usefulness when integrated into engineering education curriculum.IntroductionCOVID-19 sparked both short- and long-term
