Lay Summary

The prolonged period of Covid-19 pandemic may have disproportionate effects on the under-represented groups of students, potentially widening disparities in learning opportunities, progression, and attainment. This study aimed to investigate the types of blended learning preferred by engineering students during the pandemic. This project explores if there are any differences in students' opinions on blended learning delivery between demographic groups. A total of 144 UG engineering students completed the online survey using the Likert scale data and quantitative comments. The data have been split into demographic groups: BAME, white, commuter and part-time working students for statistical analysis. Findings reveal the disparity between BAME and white commuting students, with 58% of BAME students who answered having to commute over 60 minutes to their lecture, whereas 20% of white students travelled a similar amount of time. Data shows students would positively be affected with blending learning being continued.
