Innovations in Remote Teaching of Engineering Design Teams.

ABSTRACT: The University of Washington's Engineering Innovation in Health program is a yearlong engineering design course sequence where senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students across different disciplines work in teams with health professionals to address their unmet needs. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, these team- and project-based courses shifted from an in-person to remote course environment. Here, we share innovative teaching strategies for a team-based, remote course environment. We show how this shift affected productivity by comparing survey results from before (in person) and during (remote) the pandemic. Preliminary results show that overall project outcomes and productivity were as high or, in some cases, higher during the pandemic than prior to the pandemic. The
