to remote learning necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic gave rise to new educationallearning methods. Starting in 2020 and for an extended period of time, students were unable toattend class in person and relied on virtual learning. Panopto has been used since 2021 as a videomanagement system allowing instructors to record lectures live and post them for students towatch later. Despite mandates being lifted and students returning to class, students routinely askfor lecture videos to continue being posted to aid in study and reinforce comprehension. Thisstudy looks at the effectiveness of Panopto through the lens of engagement interaction with thevideos.This research looks at data for the Fall 2022 semester of an undergraduate

The objective of this study is toassess the willingness of engineering college students to serve as volunteers in earthquakevolunteer programs initiated and led by universities and to determine their motives behind suchengagement. Lebanese senior and graduate engineering students (n = 332) were surveyed. Thefindings revealed a strong tendency of Lebanese engineering students to participate in suchvolunteer programs, and that learning and altruistic factors are the leading predictors behindparticipants’ motivation.

Progress] Community Engagement in a First-Year Engineering Communication Course: Increasing Student Numbers from Handfuls to Hundreds.AbstractEngaging first-year engineering students in their mandatory, first-term, communication coursecan be a challenge when some may not yet understand how these communication skills will beused in their day-to-day professional interactions. However, adding a real client with real needswhere the students’ work can have real impact adds immediacy and interest. To those ends, acommunity service learning team proposal project was created in 2011 for 60 students of a firstterm, first-year engineering writing course, which is a part of a common first-year engineeringcurriculum.

Senior students attending engineering colleges in Lebanon(n=378) were surveyed to: assess their awareness and preparedness to earthquakes, to ascertainwhether there is a link among their awareness and preparedness, and to determine howengineering educational programs have affected their current awareness and preparedness.Although the findings indicate satisfactory seismic risk awareness across the majority ofparticipants, a poor level of earthquake preparedness was revealed. The role of engineeringinstitutions and organizations has insignificant influence on both awareness and preparedness ofparticipants. This article calls
