Corneal [6] developed a sequence of three templates to guide studentsthrough the process of technical report writing and implemented it in a first-year engineering labcourse.According to the theories of learning transfer [7], describing how past experiences affect learningand performance in a new situation, the transfer of writing skills from first-year composition toengineering can be classified as ‘far transfer’ that contains very few abstract or generaloverlapping features [8].

The successful student-learning outcome of this project is accomplished by solving complex problem skills usingmodern tools, actively engaging in decision-making and time management. Overall works concluded that the four key features are important in comprehend ofaddressing complex solution problems: (i) team-based framework; (ii) multidisciplineeducation including sustainability of a project or coursework-based learning; (iii) applicationof modern tools in complex engineering problem with an understanding of the limitations; and(iv) effective communication by means of oral presentation and technical report writing, orboth on complex

And one of the hard-learned lessons was thatsolely changing the mode of class meetings from face-to-face to virtual did not work effectivelyfor engineering education. As shown in recent studies on student perceptions of online learningduring the pandemic, students experienced declines in peer-to-peer and student-instructorinteractions in fully online courses [1]. Students also reported difficulties in maintainingmotivation and getting support, which has negatively impacted their online learning [2].During this unusual time, the flipped classroom particularly has drawn attention as an effectiveway to address the challenges associated with fully remote teaching.

She wrote a few examples for the book, but most of the workwas editorial by organizing the content into chapters. When she was first asked to help compileand write this OER book, she was extremely excited. Once she began working on it, she began tofeel overwhelmed and found it quite daunting at the beginning. Although aspects of thedevelopment of the OER took numerous hours and became monotonous, she thoroughly enjoyedwriting her own sections and examples. The process was more time consuming than she expected,but once she finished compiling and writing all the chapters, she had a great sense of pride andaccomplishment.Overall
