Abstract

The circumstances developed in early 2020 due to COVID 19 pandemic impacted almost every walk of life and it continues, some facing more challenges than the others. The education sector felt the impact more than any other sector, face to face or conventional method of teaching transformed to online E-learning method of learning. Educational institutes around the world faced surmounting challenges in their systems, implementations, and assessment phases in this transition. However, the major success of the E-learning system is that the learning process did not stop, teachers and students familiarize themselves with the state-of-the-art technologies for teaching and learning purposes. The sudden shift of conventional teaching to online learning poses a challenging situation for engineering disciplines. Engineering students struggled because of many reasons including due to short transition period teaching team wasn’t ready for E-learning mode of education. This article provides a systematic and holistic overview of challenges faced by engineering students during this challenging time. A qualitative and quantitative survey was conducted in Omani Higher Education Institutions (HEI) which concluded majority of students around 82% faced challenges to handle technologies related problems and cancellation of practical classes.
