Abstract

The First-Year Cornerstone Engineering Design Project Course (ENGG1100) aims to maintain practicality and excitement of experiential learning by enabling students to create an authentic artifact, despite the unexpected shift to emergency remote teaching due to COVID-19. The main challenge is to teach a course that usually takes place in a makerspace and to redesign it to enable students to be a “maker” at home. The course was well-received based on student feedback. This experience is an important step to understand the possibilities and limitations of teaching project courses entirely online.
