In this article, a number of difficulties faced in research, teaching and learning by engineeringinstructors, researchers, students and administrative staff in the universities in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed. A few solutions, such as use of a sample online assessment tool, that might aid in better delivery of engineering courses are provided. The effectiveness of such solutions devised for short-term use and their applicability in the longer-term online teachingare discussed. Special focus is given to engineering education due to the special standards of course delivery and assessment required by the Engineers Canada and Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.
