institutions ofhigher education throughout the U.S. have experienced additional demands necessitated by themove to online platforms for all teaching and administrative work, as well as strains placed onresearch agendas as laboratories have been closed, fieldwork has been limited, and in-personcontact has been curtailed. At the time of this writing, many universities have remainedshuttered, relying on remote instruction and administration; others have adopted hybrid models.Of those that attempted to fully open for in-person instruction in fall of 2020, many had to asquickly shut down again and send students home, as outbreaks have followed openings [41, 42,43, 44].The economic impacts of the pandemic on the U.S. are many and range in severity.

an “authentic immersion” into engineering where they would be using realengineering tools in real engineering contexts to solve real engineering problems. It also helpedto sell the class as a unicorn – there are no other courses like it in the entire college that combinemathematics with engineering problem-solving in a hands-on lab based format where studentsalso learn programming/MATLAB. This messaging intends to convince students that it is not aremedial class, rather a challenging class that illustrates why math is needed in engineering andwill help give them an advantage in future courses. As the instructors were teaching the coursethey never referred to it as a remedial course, or that the students were “behind” in any way onthe math

The findings of this study contribute to the current researcharound counterspaces applying an added context to Black engineering students. Counterspacesare a necessary entity to for Black engineering students to feel supported and connected to theirinstitutions. Ong suggests counterspaces can be physical, conceptual or ideological settings andthat by having counterspaces in close proximity to the power structures of STEM, engineeringprograms can “set the tone for what kinds of social behaviors are encouraged and tolerated inclassrooms, laboratories and other social space” [9].

Next, we looked at the profession of the engineer doing work. This constructincluded codes of a designer, technician, tradesman, mechanic, builder, driver, craftsman, factoryworker, or an object/engine (if the child drew an object rather than a person). Lastly, weexamined the activities that the engineer was involved in, which includes images ofbuilding/fixing, designing, drawings/blueprints, products of mechanical engineering, products ofcivil engineering, trains, laboratory work, engineering design process, SEEK class activities andusing tools.In addition to these

What is the dynamic relationship between educators and learners in highereducation settings?
