to future adoption of teaching-related best-practices. The purpose of this research is to identify the self-reported activities of engineeringinstructors and how this changed over the course of three semesters during the COVID-19pandemic. Approximately 40 engineering instructors from a large Midwestern R1 Universityvoluntarily completed online surveys in during Spring 2020, Fall 2020, and Spring 2021semesters about their engagement in teaching-related activities and the perceived normality ofthat engagement. Descriptive statistics were used to examine general trends in activityengagement for each semester and to compare activity engagement across all three semesters.Across all three semesters, instructors most often reported engaging in self
