Navigating the COVID landscape with a Mechanical Engineering Junior Laboratory Prof. Charles S. White Department of Mechanical Engineering, Norwich UniversityAbstractAt the author’s institution, all Mechanical Engineering undergraduate students are required totake a two semester laboratory course sequence covering topics in measurement andinstrumentation. As with most hands-on instruction, the restrictions imposed by the COVIDpandemic required significant adjustments to the course, especially the number of studentsthat were permitted in the laboratory space at any given time. In this paper a comparison ismade between the Fall semester course from before the pandemic (Fall 2019) and the samecourse

35.6 Rarely stressful 21.0 Never stressful 6.9A determination of students’ mental health distress within the past year (1 = distressed; 0 = notdistressed) was based on students’ combined responses from the depression, anxiety, andsuicidality items. Students were categorized as “distressed” if they reported any of the following:(a) moderate to severe symptoms of depression, (b) moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety, or(c) having seriously thought of attempting suicide in the past year.Help-Seeking MeasuresStudents were asked about their help-seeking attitudes, intentions, and

A TA observes the group but onlyintervenes if it is completely stuck or is off in a fruitless direction. This study is unique because itis the first we are aware of that is deployed in a gateway engineering course, focuses on self-efficacy and disciplinary identity, and uses a quasi-experimental design to assess the effects ofpeer dialogue vs. traditional recitation.Research questions are:1) To what extent does peer-interaction in discipline-based problem solving promote a) studentcompetence in the course material, b) enhanced self-efficacy for discipline-based problemsolving, c) engineering identity, and d) institutional affiliation
