dc.description.abstract	It would be interesting to look at how students are thinking about the concept of social distancing and how they practice on it during the pandemic. In this regard, this research attempts to investigate students' perception and practice of social distancing and how it affects their learning satisfaction. Data were collected through quantitative survey method. 243 responses have been collected by using survey through Google Forms from three Engineering Universities of Bangladesh. These three engineering universities have been chosen from the category of International, Public and Private universities of Bangladesh. Convenient sampling technique was used for selecting the participants. This study reveals how the engineering students’ perceptions and practices about social distance affect their learning experiences and satisfaction in Covid-19 situations. The perceptions of engineering university students towards online learning during the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic can provide insights into the usefulness, self-efficacy, ease of use, and students' behavior related to online learning. The results can potentially show whether students adhere to social distancing in pandemic situations and whether there has been any change in their protective behavior and whether this led to the learning satisfaction.	en_US
