socialrelationships and networks that are typically cultivated in project or design-based courses can becritical for navigating undergraduate education [1]. Social relationships help achieve keylearning objectives in these courses, including design thinking, collaboration, andcommunication skills [2]. Although there are many established ways to communicate online,these do not replace the often-unplanned supportive interactions that happen in-person prior tothe pandemic [3]- [5]. This sudden shift to online teaching could have implications for students’learning, persistence, and success. This necessitates the examination of students’ socialsupports and relationships during this shift. In this paper, we make research-based preliminaryrecommendations for online

completed an associate’s degree. The reason for thisextended time to degree completion is that each curriculum has one or two sophomore-levelengineering courses that are not usually available at the community colleges. Because thesegateway courses are pre-requisites for the third-year curricula which operate on an annualschedule, new transfer students were not ready to join the third-year cohort in the fall.A pathway to a bachelor’s degree through community college is an accessible opportunity forfinancially challenged students and is seen as a means of achieving a more diverse engineeringworkforce.[1] Reducing time to graduation is a common institutional objective in highereducation, but it has specific economic importance for low-income transfer

Design Solutions (Fundamental)Introduction With the introduction of the Next Generation Science Standards [1] engineering is nowbeing incorporated into K-12 classrooms for the first time on a national level. As such, there isan increased need to understand how children communicate during engineering activities to bestsupport their learning. In elementary classrooms, where young students are in the process ofdeveloping their verbal capacities, gestures from both the teacher and students serve as a keycomponent of communication of new ideas and the processing of social information [2]. Thusfar, research efforts to understand how students of all ages use gestures to communicate andunderstand new ideas have focused primarily on mathematics and

This style of course is slowly becoming morecommon in engineering courses, with studies showing the results of flipped classrooms in a widevariety of engineering fields, including statics [1], computer engineering [2], computerprogramming [3], heat and mass transfer [4], environmental engineering [5], aerospaceengineering [6], biomedical engineering [7], CAD [8], and engineering design [9].

However it does have limitations [2], [9], [10],and requires several weeks of preparation prior to the start of class [6], [8].

We sought to answer thefollowing research questions: (1) How do engineering students’ definitions of EM differ fromliterature definitions? and (2) How do engineering students believe EM will be useful to theircareer? Students were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol to get a clearerunderstanding of how they define EM. The interview protocol included questions focused onwhat students think EM means, how it has affected them, and how it might continue to affectthem in the future. These interviews were then transcribed and thematically analyzed todetermine the attributes of an EM that are common in students’ definitions of EM.

Prototyping may take many forms whether it be virtual,physical, or computational, and serves a critical purpose across various disciplines. Often inengineering education, prototypes are core to design course requirements. The learning by doingnature of creating a prototype provides students with a contextualized experience facilitatingstudent understanding, offering a means to assess the students’ understanding, and creating areference point to test the product for further design improvement.Often, an iterative approach is used for prototyping. This idea is supported by many articles

The open-ended nature of the experience allows numerous learningopportunities for practicing both technical and non-technical skills. While the primary emphasisof capstone design experience is justifiably technical competency, the non-technical aspects areequally important within engineering careers [2]. A structured training within the broad area ofprofessionalism is required to leverage the capstone design experience and better align with thecareer needs.Besides the application of technical knowledge, every capstone project relies on multipleprofessional skills to be successful.

As succinctly explained in Ulrich and Eppinger’s seminal Product Design andDevelopment, “prototypes are used for four purposes: learning, communication, integration, andmilestones” [1]. When engineers prototype, they do so physically or digitally through artifactsthat communicate design intent, sub-features, or a full solution; as Tom Kelley of IDEO hasstated, “A prototype is worth a thousand meetings” [2].

Thisapproach is based on the idea that if children see and interact with these role models, they canlearn from them, get excited, and
