paper examines the lack of physical and in-person interaction on collaboration.We explore the extent of the shock on collaborative work due to current pandemic relatedcircumstances in and beyond the classroom and how university students and professors haveresponded to the shock.In a descriptive analysis we consider evidence from diverse literature relating in-personconnections to routine response or inhibition of innovative action (trying something new) andlack of in-person interaction to elevated attempts at innovative action. Preliminaryexamination of qualitative responses from faculty and student collaboration is associatedspecifically with (a) positive affect during first-time experiences vs. practice effects inexisting relationships, (b

The JobSearch Survey, distributed to Fellows 3-6 months after graduation, is focused on collecting datarelated to the following: a) how Fellow’s experience in their doctoral program influenced theircareer plans and decisions; b) how their experience as a Fellow in the H-AGEP program influencetheir career plans and decisions; c) what career options did they initially consider, did their careergoals change over time and if so, what factors influenced changes to those career decisions; andd) were academic careers at community colleges a consideration in those decisions.

clarity of communications with students. Repeating this type of study in the futuremay be beneficial to see if the changes made by the faculty and the School have had a positiveeffect on student experiences. It is likely that many of the practices identified through this studywill continue to evolve as faculty and students become more skilled in remote teaching andlearning.AcknowledgmentsThe authors wish to thank our students for their insightful feedback. We are grateful for thereviewers’ careful review of this manuscript.References[1] S. Ressler, A. Estes, C. Saviz, B. Barry, C. Considine, D. Coward, N. Dennis Jr., S. Hamilton, D. Hurwitz, T.

mapping was used to obtain success stories to evaluate outcomes of the influence of the virtual summer internships on the students selected. For 5 years, students will be contacted and monitored annually to provide individually in their own words a brief summary of (a) Student’s Accomplishments/Awards (b) Student’s Internships (c) impact TSGC support had on student in their career or future goals. This approach will provide a powerful thematic description of outcomes and enables a quantitative estimate of the overall success of the virtual internship.Progress inspection showed the majority (60%) of survey respondents were female. This proportion compares veryfavorably to the program’s target of more than 20
meetings to fosterunderstanding and communicate with students. Nevertheless, irrespective of their teachingpedagogy, class interactivity was among the apparent challenges in online classes. The use ofactive learning techniques increased the level of interactivity in the classes.In future work, we plan to survey more faculty from other departments and other engineeringschools to analyze their experience and share their points on how to teach an effective engineeringclass. Also, in a different study, we plan to investigate active learning effectiveness in online ECEclasses.References[1] K. P. Hardy and B. L.

differentapproaches to algorithmic evaluation display trends comparable to by-hand assessment by aninstructor. Given that the software used in this work utilized unmodified versions of the basicalgorithms, it might be expected that agreement will improve as the algorithms are modified tobetter detect features most prevalent in diagrams of technological systems. Additional testing isplanned with both engineering students enrolled in an introduction to engineering and non-engineers in a general education engineering literacy course.References: 1. B.

A key part of this was good communication (i.e. groupchat, zoom, group facetime).” As another group stated: “One piece of advice that we would givea future MMW lab group early in the process is to get to know the members of your group. Byunderstanding the strengths and weaknesses of those you are working with, your group will beable to divide work amongst members in a manner that ensures great quality and collaborationthroughout all parts of the design process.”(b) The importance of the prototyping and testing phase of the design project.
