Abstract

Engineering 1 is the first subject in the Engineering Program at College of Science and Engineering, James Cook University. In general, this subject is delivered in a traditional setting to a cohort of more than 120 students. The subject assessments comprise two group design projects, three in-class quizzes, and three Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tutorials. As the epidemic forced the learning to sway between online and offline several times in one semester, the subject learning and teaching was adapted in the way Engineering 1 can be taught either online or offline.

Using some pedagogical perspectives, the subject Engineering 1 was analysed to identify the common learning and teaching approaches and typical challenges in online and offline delivery. Then, several major points of the adaptation were proposed and undertaken.

The adaptation results were positive. The student feedback had increased significantly and there was a slight increase in enrolment in Engineering, given the general decrease trend in other disciplines.
