The protocols put in place were directlyinfluenced by both the CDC guidelines [3-4] at the time of writing (August 2020), as well asNJIT’s COVID protocols for students, faculty, and staff in laboratory spaces [5]. In the creationof this protocol, the floor plan of the space and the user experience at each “station” wasconsidered. General behavioral rules were put into place for all individuals in the space that wereinformed by both CDC COVID-19 guidelines and NJIT’s COVID-19 protocols.

Forinstance, in future versions, we plan to study whether the simulations are more helpful as pre-labor post-lab activities that deliberately complement and extend the face-to-face experiments byexpanding the opportunity structure, providing them with greater agency to make decisions thatare consequential to their experimentation and interpretation, and attendant learning.Our study extends prior work on framing agency [17], suggesting that it is not bound only toengineering design settings

objective of this course is to provide project-based learning (PBL) andintroduce these students to major projects in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and ComputerEngineering projects so that they can make an informed decision about their major. The PBL is anactive learning method that aims to engage students in acquiring knowledge and skills throughreal-world experiences and well-planned project activities in engineering disciplines. The coursecomprises four team-based unique projects related to Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and ComputerEngineering. The project involves using a variety of engineering tools like AutoCAD, Multisim,and Arduino platforms.
