AB  - Limited studies exist examining the effect of the initial COVID-19 quarantine on engineering education, and those available tend to be limited to a single engineering discipline. This paper examines student perceptions of the learning experience in the emergency situation presented by the COVID-19 pandemic across four engineering disciplines. Student surveys were administered during the first and last week of the change from in-person to online instruction for 12 engineering classes, comprising five different instructors, at an undergraduate institution in the United States. A paired t-test analysis was performed to determine if pre- and post-survey mean results were significantly different for the whole group, and various genders, majors, and years of study. Results indicate that while some improvement in perception was shown, students maintained either an undecided or negative perception of the online educational environment. Significant difference between pre- and post-survey responses were seen with regards to the perception of grades, ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, and ability to function effectively on a team, with the latter two learning outcomes scoring lowest in the pre-surveys. In addition to the survey analysis, lessons learned and recommendations for effective online education are discussed. As online education becomes more popular and in some cases more necessary, it is important to understand the impact on engineering education, particularly in situations of forced distance education. This study provides insight into the challenges that come with emergency online instruction and could drive decisions on priorities for in-person learning environments.
