www.slayte.com Changes of Project Based Learning Effectiveness due to the COVID-19 PandemicAbstract Project based learning (PBL) is an effective student-centered method to improve students’understanding. However, most PBL learning techniques rely heavily on a sequence of activitieswhich require interaction with other humans or components and equipment in the laboratory. Formany years, this method has proven effective and reliable particularly in STEM education. During the year when COVID-19 hit the world, PBL based education was implemented in thesame exact manner as previous years to teach a course in electronics to senior students in highschool. However, remarkable deterioration was observed in students
visualization and measurement in PIV shows promise for activelyengaging secondary, undergraduate, and graduate students with fluid dynamics concepts.Educational PIVEngineering students often encounter fluid mechanics for the first time midway through theirundergraduate career, in a mathematics-heavy curriculum, with a perceived lack of relevance tothe real world [20, 21]. Some educators have even observed these difficulties to dissuadestudents from pursuing fluids-specific careers [21]. However, educators have also noted thatstudents’ perceptions about fluid mechanics could be shifted in response to flow visualizationinstruction [21, 22]. As a result, fluid mechanics educators capable of implementing PIV in theclassroom/laboratory are not only provided
thatprograms often utilize company sponsorships to improve the engineering technology degree. Forinstance, if the school is looking for financial assistance to expand a laboratory for students,companies from the IAB could help to provide the cost-share funds to create an industry-standard classroom experience. Based on the recommendations from industry as to the hardwareand software that is needed, companies can sponsor equipment and the faculty training to conveythat knowledge to students. This agreement may also come with a promise to keep the labmaintained and updated to accommodate industry trends and changing expectations. Usually,schools will then name the laboratory after the sponsors to highlight their role in the creation ofthe program and to

to degree completion stems largely from the desire for flexibility in learningfor students [8].Though the development of these online programs saw some success pre-pandemic, many peoplestill shy away from online education when it comes to engineering fields. Some of the factorsthat can be attributed to this are course quality and breadth [9]. Online courses are oftenstereotyped as being of a lower quality than in person courses, whether it be in content, delivery,or interpersonal interactions with students and instructors [2]. When it comes to laboratory stylecourses for engineers, these online courses are especially difficult given the desire for hands-onuse of tools and instruments [9].

One example of this is the use of storytelling in nursingprograms [2,3], utilizing a method that mirrors the way the nursing students will receiveinformation from future patients. In a science course, Crocetti and Barr examine the use ofstorytelling and graphic novels to deliver science literacy concepts [4]. In the engineering field,digital storytelling has become a tool to use the digital medium to convey technical information ina more accessible way to non-technical audiences [5], to learn technical information in a civilengineering laboratory setting [6], and to develop engineering

process. Also in many cases, students, through working on projects,often perceive the relevance of mathematics and science and see how what they have learned inthese courses might be applicable to their current project. Another, less frequently usedalternative is a first-year course built around discipline, laboratory-based learning experiences[10]. The goal of this alternative is to help first-year students better understand the nature of thedifferent engineering disciplines through carefully crafted experiential learning experiences.Given that one of the challenges faced by the first-year engineering curricula at TAMU was thelack of understanding of engineering practice, EAPO selected the project-based approach.

Inlearning sciences, the design experiments are seen as a means of studying learningphenomena in the real world instead of the laboratory, thus arriving at better understanding ofthe contextual aspects or learning and enabling the establishment of better learningconditions.
