Our survey of students who took at least one APMA course during Spring 20,Fall 20, and Spring 21 found that they were more likely to choose credit/no-credit grading for APMAcourses than for their major-related courses. We hypothesized that students lacked confidence in theirAPMA skills and preferred to focus on the major courses. This suggests that COVID-19 has significantlyaffected student performance and perception of APMA courses. Further research is needed to understandthe underlying reasons for these

The basic idea is let each student progress through the material attheir own individual pace 4,5 . Students can take and re-take both learning modules andassessments as many times as it takes for them to understand the material. This promotes agrowth mindset and encourages students to take time as needed because its never too late (untilthe course ends).

' readiness for work and their mastery of specificcompetencies (e.g., technical skills, communication skills, etc.) has long been of interest to theengineering education community [1]–[4]. Critiques of new engineers’ competencies date backto the 1918 Mann Report and have continued through the last century. More recently, a 2012American Society of Mechanical Engineers report claimed that new graduates lack proficiency inareas like practical experience, problem solving, and design [2]. Other recent studies haveidentified teamwork and communication skills as lacking amongst new engineers [5]–[7]. Martinet al.
