Thus, the format of assessment, rather thanthe rigor, quality, or intended learning can have undue effect on educational outcomes.

Two forms of support emerged from the factor analysis:industry mentor support and teammate support, and two control variables also emerged: designself-efficacy and preparedness.

students in engineering education programs have typically been trained through ABET-accredited engineering programs. Despite ABET’s communication requirement, engineeringundergraduate students have limited opportunities to learn to write in their discipline [7]. Often,explicit writing instruction is limited to two courses: one in first-year writing, and one thatfocuses on engineering writing. The other writing engineering students do is integrated implicitlyin design and laboratory coursework. In these contexts, writing practices are often renderedinvisible as students are asked to fill forms, draw sketches, and incorporate appropriate equationsinto reports rather than write essays or reflections [6].

The abrupt and emergency nature of the transition to ERT (hereafter called remotelearning) has led to the notion that the quality of higher education decreased as a result of thepandemic. But, at the present time, insufficient evidence is available to assess to what degreehigher education and learning may have been compromised by the shift to remote learning.
