When a student asks me about something I said on Monday:

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@LizWFab Biologically a teacher (I knew it!)

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

Getting to that point of the semester where my to-do list actually gets shorter and does not just regenerate.

Today I found a small bottle of antibacterial in an old conference gift bags and I feel like a won the lottery. Best. Conference. Ever.

Full-time parenting and full-time online teaching. The burnout is real.

@Mike_P_Salem @AcademicChatter The benefit is two-fold, particularly if the activity is of a technical nature. Students work with peers and develop teamwork skills, while getting important practice in problem-solving and (ideally) career specific skills.

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@Mike_P_Salem @AcademicChatter Are you talking about engagement in extracurricular activities, or in activities within a class setting?

[DrJames @YorkU (he/him/il) @jasmith_yorku]

I have sooooo much respect for my students who are trying to build their projects using whatever spare parts they have at their disposal, pivoting away from original project plans & making the best of a crummy situation.

They're learning valuable engineering lessons throughout.

Day 5 of online teaching: realizing how slow and glitchy my computer truly is, and getting super frustrated about it.
Yet it is a pretty awesome computer compared to the ones my students have...

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@drclairelucas I can see how that would make it extra challenging to teach engineering software! Can students talk to each other? Can they form teams in a way where at least one teammate has a computer, and then have them meet over Zoom and share their screen?

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@GretchenMcLaine @ass_deans I wish I could, I really do.

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

Nothing quite as inspirational as an email from @ass_deans making it clear that, now that you work online, you need to respond to all emails within an hour. Also, no posting on social media unless you plan on asking for vacation days. I love being e-micromanaged!

Current status: looking for engineering students on Twitter freaking out about doing engineering online and sending them a quick positive message.

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@Mcastellanos06 It might not be tbh but you can do it!

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@RayneTorry You can do this!

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@o_mendoza_ You can do this!

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@alexandertamu You can do this!

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@JaredDeLora We are figuring it out! It won’t be easy, but we can do it!

[Engineering Prof @theengrprof]

@lindsy4ever You can do this!
