instruction. The presenters have experience of implementing theseweb-based tools in instructional technology and engineering courses at Arkansas TechUniversity and will cover case studies highlighting implementation of flipped instruction incollege level courses. An important element of implementing flipped instruction in classrooms is to assess itsimpact on student learning outcomes and their self-efficacy. The self-efficacy construct is usedas a measure of students' self-judgment that reflects what students believe they can do with theskills they possess. The presenters will introduce the audience to approaches that can help themdevelop instruments to measure self-efficacy of students in their flipped courses and compare theresults with lecture

While theliterature suggests that better classroom organization is effective in reaching students, educatorsmust also realize that many different learning styles and preferences are represented by thestudents in our classes. Centering the class on an advanced technology or a theme, such as aplant trip or life cycle assessment, can help us better reach the students. However, sometimes thelittle things—getting to know the students, providing time for interaction or engaging

On-orbit satellite capture experiments have been carried out successfully by the ETS-VII satellite in 1999(Sanmartin, Martinez-Sanchez et al. 1993) and (Oda, Nishida et al. 1999). The key technologies beingexplored by researchers for implementing debris removal include: efficient orbital transfer technology -electro-dynamic tether; Navigation to and around the debris object - machine vision/image processing;and Robotic capture - simple light weight arm to capture the debris object.The multidisciplinary senior design capstone class of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering (MIE) andElectrical Engineering (EE) at UMD has compared these alternative design concepts with decisionmatrix and chose to focus on robotic

-level courses, advanced courses, service courses for non-electrical engineering studentsetc. [9,10,11,12]A blended learning approach was adopted for the Electrical Circuits course at MissouriUniversity of Science and Technology. Electrical Circuits is the fundamental course in electricalengineering for non-Electrical Engineering students. The nature of this course presented uniquechallenges and it was thought that a blended learning approach might help overcome thosechallenges. This study compared the blended learning format to a traditional lecture format. Thelevers used for comparison were: 1) amount of content covered, 2) student performance onexams, and 3) student satisfaction in terms of perceived learning in new format. Details of

The final CSB reportrecommended that the Accrediation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and theAmerican Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) ensure reactive hazard awareness is includedwithin ChE curriculum (U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, 2009). In response,many programs, ours included, have also added a safety class to the curriculum and industry hasbegun offering process safety workshops for faculty.The above initiatives have undoubtedly improved student understanding of process safety, butthey fail to directly engage industry process safety experts in educating students. Industryengagement has been found to be an effective tool for and training students in

The procrastination causes stress in a student population that is already stresseddue to work and family commitments.

Student-Led Research: Exploring the Impulse Response of Linear Time-Invariant Systems. Gregory McCartney, Leland Delissa, Marcus Allen, and Clark Shaver Pittsburg State UniversityAbstractThis paper reviews a student-led, extracurricular research project that was a direct out-growth ofan in-class research assignment. Within the Signals and Systems course in the ElectronicsEngineering Technology (EET) program at Pittsburg State University (PSU), the theory ofconvolution, linear time-invariance, and impulse response are introduced. The PSU-EETprogram prides itself on hands on application of engineering principles in every class. Butproviding meaningful
