undergraduate students [6-8, 12].A natural and efficient way of teaching renewable energy into curriculum is the project-basedapproach, shaping the course content to local industry fields. Course content and deliverymethods should be structured to meet the demands and challenges of such a dynamic,interdisciplinary and complex applied science field. Laboratory work is a critical component ofthe engineering education, and a core component of technical programs. Unfortunately, in therenewable energy case, the equipment is expensive, in terms of acquisition and maintenance,requiring adequate space and utility access. To cope with such challenges we are proposing inthe next academic year to develop a virtual renewable energy laboratory, consisting of

the laboratory and analyticalskills necessary to conduct fundamental experimental testing of naval systems. Students whocomplete the course can conduct resistance testing of hulls, perform open-water testing ofpropellers, make inertial measurements of models, and measure the linear seakeeping responsesof ship models in regular waves. All these skills are both fundamental to a naval experimentalistand highly specialized. We instruct students through lecture and hands-on experience withresearch-grade equipment in the Advanced Measurements Laboratory. Students have access toan instructional towing tank, which is equipped with a measurement carriage, resistancedynamometer, and a wave-maker. Recent upgrades include a gimballed mount that

are crucial for work in laboratory,welding, ship simulators, and ship operation and maintenance, environments commonly found inlicense students’ curricula. It is interesting to consider, then, if—and by what degree—license studentsare affected by the flipped classroom format, especially as compared with their non-license engineeringstudent counterparts (“interns”).This paper aims to quantify the effects that the flipped classroom format has on license students. Thepaper achieves this by performing a difference-in-differences (DiD) [4] analysis on the students’ finalcourse letter grades in a recently flipped course in signals and systems, specifically ENGR 383 Signalsand Systems—a junior-level electrical engineering course taken by license and
