Trajectories in Turmoil: A Case Study of Engineering Students’ Reactions to Disruptions in Their Community of Practice

Abstract: Introduction:The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to universities when instruction had to shift entirely online. Universities were quick to survey their students about those challenges, and education researchers are now focused on building more effective online experiences based on student feedback. About the case: The loss of in-person instruction was difficult for engineering students in practice-based courses as they lost the courses' hands-on aspect, which is essential for reinforcing the… Show more

“…More generally, students noted missing important social interactions due to the isolation mandated by the pandemic. [21] They identified these interactions as both supporting connection to the department community and supporting the learning of challenging content. Several students remarked that is was difficult to gauge how they were performing in class.…”

“…[101] Exam fraud appears to be one of the biggest challenges in the distance learning process. [102] The behavioral intention has been expressed as one of the most critical factors for distance education system use and acceptance. [26] A theoretical model of the hybrid education system based on student perception is proposed.…”

“…As a result, engineering professors make strong use of laboratories, maker spaces, or physical equipment to facilitate learning in class [28]. With this, the intrinsic load of engineering education is substantially high due to the complex engineering concepts being studied; as well as due to the emphasis on problem-solving [13], [29]. Additionally, the course load is also quite heavy and exhibits a stark contrast with the workload required in high school.…”

“…The shift to distance learning has required students to rely solely on lecture notes, online simulations, and their imagination to understand abstract concepts. At the same time, professors often increase the number of assessments in classes to compensate for the removal of in-person components such as laboratories [29]. Collectively, these add to an already high cognitive load for engineering students.…”
