Using workplace thriving theory to investigate first‐year engineering students' abilities to thrive during the transition to online learning due to <scp>COVID</scp>‐19

Abstract

Our research, viewed through workplace thriving theory, highlights the mechanisms by which students tried to succeed in suboptimal environments. While not all our participants showed evidence of thriving, the factors required for thriving point to opportunities to harness these same factors in in-person instruction environments.
