. While the results of this assessment will inevitably lookdifferent for each environmental engineering program, our program found opportunities toimmediately ‘bounce forward’ in several areas, to include integrating remote teaching anddistance learning best practices and streamlining administrative practices. We also identifiedopportunities to ‘bounce forward’ over the next three to five years, to include eliminating lowpayoff activities and reassessing the way we do laboratory work. However, continual clear-eyedself-assessment is required to fully realize the ‘bounce forward’ opportunities available post-pandemic. 1 “Never let a good crisis go to waste

The first is the trend in Physics education tofocus on teaching for conceptual understanding, for example, through Peer Instruction1 orWorkshop Physics (which is part of The Physics Suite).2 The second trend is the push to improvestudent writing through programs such as Writing Across the Curriculum, and in particularthrough Writing to Learn, where short writing exercises are used to help students think through aconcept or a problem.3 The observation was that a considerable fraction of our students, whiletalking to other students in class or asking the instructor a question, was referring to

The Instructor will betterunderstand individual students’ learning outcomes, weaknesses, and strengths through this directverbal interaction. It also provides an opportunity for the Instructor to get to know each student,especially those who are too shy to speak in class.
