This surveycaptured both faculty and student responses, although faculty responses were not used at the be-ginning of the pandemic as most efforts were placed on helping students. A total of 113 facultyresponded to this survey, and those responses are discussed here.The Engineering Education Faculty Group (EEFG) began meeting weekly during the pandemicto support each other. During these meetings, the members of the EEFG would share variousmethods that they were using in their own online classes and the struggles or successes that theywere experiencing.

With this in mind, the first-year engineeringprogram is set up to introduce the students to all the engineering majors offered at BinghamtonUniversity. Each semester our students take two linked courses, an introduction to engineeringcourse and an engineering communication course. One of the goals of these courses is to givestudents a better understanding of the engineering majors, so they can make a more informeddecision, when they declare their major.This paper presents the culmination of a five-year investigation into the students’ declarations. Itbegan in the 2016/2017 academic year with an anonymous survey at the start of the fall semesterwith two, multiple

This can become more of achallenge for regional campuses in which affordability is a driving part of the value propositionfor incoming students.
