AB  - Civil engineering education needs to be adapted to accommodate the technological innovations and promote a culture of innovation.  Future civil engineers should learn new knowledge and skill to use the emerging technologies, such as online learning tools, smart devices, remote control technology and so on. Current research suggests that replacing the traditional lecture-type instruction with interactive technological tools may enhance students’ learning.  The rapid transition to online learning during the COVID-19 lockdown triggered a boost of technology adoption among higher education instructors. For more than two years into the pandemic, the effect of digital learning on higher education has been remarkably profound. We are going through a change that has not happened for decades in traditional classrooms and a new digital world is forming. The pandemic has dramatically accelerated the adoption of digitized learning modes, such as live-streaming videos, recorded videos, video conferences, screen sharing, 3D graphics, online chatting, cloud file storage and transfer. Both instructors and students are getting used to technology adoption in the classroom instruction.  The advantages of technology use in teaching, such as time flexibility, accessibility and convenience, are evident. As we expect a light at the end of tunnel for the pandemic, it is of tremendous interest to know how digital learning will impact post-pandemic classroom instruction.

In this paper, the effect of digital learning on civil engineering classroom instructions during the pandemic time are studied, and surveys were conducted in three civil engineering courses over the four consecutive semesters from Spring 2020 to Fall 2021, and the quantitative survey results are analyzed and compared.  Effective strategies to improve the post-pandemic civil engineering classroom instructions are proposed according to the survey results and classroom observations.  The digital learning approaches are proven very effective and preferred by the students and the instructors to supplement the in-person lectures.
