It makes recommendations to improve future courses when applying a similar hybridinstructional model.IntroductionEngineering education plays an essential role in preparing students to innovate advancedtechnologies in the future. New course design and development are part of the strategic plan tohelp students advance their learning goal while in school. In order to effectively deliver coursecontent covering a broad range of topics and facilitate interactive learning activities, engineeringcourses have been traditionally delivered in classroom settings until recent years when Internettechnologies have become an integral

Simple random sampling is bothcostly when implemented on a national scale and does not guarantee an accurate representationof the population.

Our initialattempt failed to consider the nuances of lab collaborative work resulting in the observer missingmany of the interactions.This epic failure helped the research team to take the nature of lab experiments into account fordesigning our future research plan. For example, a timeline is needed in advance of the REUprogram. The frequency of observation needs to be more frequent (e.g., once per day) rather thanonce per week to detect changes. All types of interactions, including face-to-face/verbalinteractions and distance/non-verbal interactions should be observed.Additional InfluencersThe settings for these observations are important to note when situating the research.
