Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a massive disruption to education, and although in some places we have returned to some semblance of normalcy, a lot of course content continues to be delivered virtually with the possibility of this becoming standard. Students and educators alike have had to work with frequent changes in social restrictions, and changes to course structure and mode of delivery. This added stress and uncertainty has provided a negative experience for most but has also newly exposed many students to online and hybrid course delivery. This chapter discusses the results of a survey delivered to Australian university engineering students that were likely impacted by the pandemic, that sought their opinions, reflections, and recommendations with respect to improving course engagement even with online delivery. These responses offer student perspectives to educators, which is not always revealed, or known to them. The discussion and analysis within this chapter aim to summarise key statistics, comments, and recommendations to assist educators in developing more engaging courses. The authors of this chapter, undergraduate students of engineering programmes, have also added their own stories and perspectives for a more detailed picture.
