This shift has been met with varied levels of resistance and acceptance,while one study showed that 85% of higher education students prefer in-class learning [1].Models developed years ago don’t account for the dynamic nature of the education world and thestudents within it. As a result, there is demand for an understanding of the unique set of needspresented by Generation Z, the

(2017) notes that these traditional students “receive the vast majority of attention and resourcesfrom colleges and universities” (p. 1). There is some irony here since “the majority of students inundergraduate programs can be classified as nontraditional, suggesting that the traditional student…is nowactually the exception rather than the norm” (Chen, 2017, p. 1). For this reason, nontraditional students aswe describe them here are now often referred to as post-traditional learners, a term acknowledging thatnontraditional student populations are now often the “norm.” Moreover, Kim et al. (2010) suggest that usingpredefined labels to define nontraditional students may be less useful than allowing this population to self-identify based on

The transition to remote learning was particularly difficult for many of the hands-on experiential learning and laboratory courses that are integral parts of an engineeringeducation. Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1].
