The COVID-19pandemic also impacted social aspects of daily lives including educational, political, andreligious activities [2]. Specifically, in university classrooms, the COVID-19 pandemic restrictedtraditional face-to-face delivery of educational content. Such restrictions have enforced highereducation institutions (e.g., colleges and universities) to seek alternative ways to deliver thecourse contents while maintaining their quality. Many institutions in the U.S. opted for offeringvirtual classes using internet-based platforms.However, such rapid transformation into virtual education precipitated by the pandemic has yetto be

The 37 predictorsincluded demographic data (e.g., age, gender, race, academic major), records of success (e.g.,incoming GPA, performance in prerequisite courses, time between prerequisite courses and thequality control course), and additional course indicators (e.g., class time of day, studentattendance, performance on Test 1 versus overall). This quality control course is evaluated overa three year period with five offerings (sections) by the same instructor for 127 students. Theresults indicate that the time between the prerequisite course and the quality control course is

First, the company is interested in project-based learning experiences.Project-based learning, or PBL, in the classroom is a concept that has been in practice since itsinitial suggestion by John Dewey in 1897 when he promoted “learning by doing”1. For industry,when learning by doing is executed correctly in the classroom, those students who “solveauthentic problems and produce results that matter” are extremely attractive as future hires5.Expectations from competitive companies are such that new hires must be capable of entering awork culture and producing immediately as personnel resources continue to be reduced whileproduction output anticipations are ever on the rise.
