AB  - Significant and sudden disruptions can bring normal university classroom activity to a halt and have many effects on how instructors teach going forward. There is little research that follows mechanical engineering instructors’ practices and strategies through a disruption. Results of such investigations can contribute to the design of new professional devolvement strategies for mechanical engineering instructors to mitigate or capitalize on the impact of disruptions. This study focused on instructors’ use of learning management system (LMS) features to support course delivery. The research question addressed was “How do mechanical engineering instructors’ LMS feature use change before, during, and after a sudden disruption to higher education?” The research took place at a Midwest Research Intensive (R1) university using LMS data from a mechanical engineering department’s core second- and third-year undergraduate courses. LMS feature use data was collected for five Spring semesters (2019–2023) which included a disruption in Spring 2020. Descriptive statistics and visualizations were used to summarize LMS feature use. While some LMS features were never used, those that were used were found to be used most often during the disruption and the following spring. The years following showed a mix of sustained and discontinued LMS feature use. The intention of this study was to inform mechanical engineering instructors decision-making relative to LMS feature use generally and during disruptions.
