For instance, in the reflective essays, students indicated that“Teamwork increased my desire in pursuing a degree in engineering”, “The competition is afactor that I enjoyed much more than I had predicted. It helps to drive me much more than abasic problem with a single solution”, and “This semester I have learned that I like being incharge of projects (project management)”.Some students experienced homesickness, while others had a hard time trying to adjust to a newsystem of note taking, lectures, and exams.ConclusionsStudents face a multitude of challenges during the

The approach taken is based on the assumption that suitable assessments oftechnological and engineering literacy might be developed through modification or adaptation ofexisting course assessments. The starting points for broadly applicable assessment tools mayalready exist in the assignments, tests, quizzes, and projects that faculty have already developed.Faculty members who are already

inorder to develop critical thinking skills. National and state standards have begun to embrace thisbelief and suggest that students spend a significant amount of time in the classroom learning themethodology of scientific investigations and apply what they learn through projects andexperiments2,3. In particular, the Texas state standards for middle school science explicitly statethat 40% of student time should be spent conducting experiments4. This paradigm shift providesan exciting opportunity for educators and students through the use of innovative and engagingscience curriculum that further evolve students’ understanding of and curiosity about the worldaround them5.Outside of conventional classrooms, there is a need to provide students with

It is normal for student groups to partitionthe assignment so that individual students can work independently on a distinct portion.

The instructor is thenavailable to facilitate healthy team-building discussions and peer teaching to help students buildmeaningful skills in this area. I liked the flipped course for many reasons.
