In addition, we did not havesufficient data to assess students’ scientific understanding or engineering performances. Hence,we could not draw conclusions on whether the project-based learning approach in this studyimproved students scientific understanding and engineering skills.In conclusion, our results show that project-based learning has the potential of improvingstudents’ interest and performance in engineering.

Although they consume a portionof any program’s resources, they tend to provide a relatively low-threat, high-impact firstexperience in engineering.

Given the abrupt switch to onlineeducation in spring 2020, as well as continued virtual delivery of most classes in the 2020-2021academic year, task force members were concerned that traditional course evaluation metrics andstudent feedback would reflect student dissatisfaction with online education, rather thansummative feedback as to teaching quality. This concern was compounded by the known bias instudent evaluations of teaching, where female faculty, faculty of color, and those from othermarginalized groups are disadvantaged [8], [21].

have proven to be especially beneficial intechnical fields, such as engineering. Interactive tools assist students in learning fundamentalconcepts using hands-on experience. This experience can help students visualize how theseconcepts are applied to real world challenges. One of the primary benefits of interactive tools isthat they provide instant feedback to the user. In engineering, these tools can be used toencourage students to problem solve, experiment, realize, and reflect on difficult concepts. Suchan experience enables students to apply their conceptual knowledge to real world difficulties on asmaller scale. This application can help them understand how variables, seen in calculation, caninfluence a problem. This experience also
