Prerequisites for this course are PHYS 2326 University Physics II and ENGR1202 Foundations of Engineering II. ENGR 2305 was offered in spring semester 2013 as a two-day course (Tuesday and Thursday) with a total enrollment of 32 students. 21 studentssuccessfully completed the course with a final letter grade of C or higher.b. Instructional MethodThere is no one model for flipped classrooms. For this particular course, active learningactivities took place on both days. At the beginning of the semester, students formed studygroups of three or four. Each week, and prior to coming to class on Tuesday, students were
Index (API) of the school was 615/1000 in 2010 and it had significant populationsin the following key areas: “Hispanic/Latino”, “Asian”, “Socioeconomically Disadvantaged”,and “English Learners” 13. In summary, the target population was a significantlyunderperforming population of students who are underrepresented in STEM majors and careers.In this paper, our analysis focuses on pre- and post math tests that were administered before andafter students created each particular genre of game. Each test (Maze and Shooter) consisted ofthe same ten questions. The tests were designed to measure mathematics learning related to theintervention, i.e., making the game, however, school administrators had asked if we could relatethe game math problems to

professional practicein the global workplace. One concern is that the overall efforts of engineering schools toincorporate international experiences that promote global preparedness in the undergraduatecurriculum are still “in their infancy.” 2 Engineering students participate in internationalengineering programs in disturbingly low numbers. For example, among the 283,332 U.S.students in higher education who studied abroad for academic credit in the 2011-2012 academicyear, engineering students represented only 3.9%, (11,000).9 Moreover, the number of U.S.engineering students studying abroad has fluctuated over the past decade. There was a 1.3%increase in the number from 2010-2011 to 2011-2012; while a 9.1% decrease from 2009-2010 to2010-2011.7While

readability, employs a minimum of multi-statementmacros, while making extensive use of simple macros: #define LED1 (_LATB13) allows clearstatements such as LED = 1, which turns an LED on.4.3 SimplicityMany libraries encourage extensive use of multi-threaded programming. Traditionally, themain() function performs foreground processing, while interrupt service routines (ISRs) handledevice I/O. Even worse, traditional approaches to RTOS rely on multiple threads that interact viasemaphores. This approach leads to complex, difficult to debug designs with subtle problems,including livelock, deadlock, starvation, and data corruption when shared variables are not ac-cessed properly. Regardless of these perils, many courses expect students to successfully
