. Quizzes were administered onpaper and collected after three minutes of work. After collecting the students’ work, the quiz wasimmediately debriefed at the board and document camera so that students received instantfeedback. Page 24.1233.9Following the Q&A time and the Entrance Quiz, the class was typically left with about 30minutes to work on class activities. As described above, these activities were often taken fromthe Activities in the Active Calculus book and modified to fit the particular needs of theaudience. Most were on the cognitive level of homework that would be assigned for out-of-classwork in a traditional setting. Students were
question is included to provide the context for the quote; in these cases a ‘Q’ willprecede the question.ResultsMany more themes emerged throughout the interview analysis than can be discussed herein. Theideas presented are those thought to be most interesting to faculty of any engineering class asinspiration for a more active or socially connected course. The code book in Appendix Acontains additional relevant themes discussed by the interviewees.Student Definitions of Social ResponsibilityEven though the EPRA survey defined social responsibility as “an obligation that an individual(or company) has to act with concern and sensitivity, aware of the impacts of their action onothers, particularly the disadvantaged,” interviewees were asked their own

the students,and the scope of what they can accomplish in two semesters is limited, we also encourage theexternal industry sponsors of our projects to provide the students with helpful feedback, during(live or teleconferenced) sponsor meetings, and during the Q&A periods of student presentationsto which the sponsors are invited, to help our students better apprehend the real-worldconsiderations that affect important business aspects of product commercialization, such as themanufacturability and marketability of their designs. This industry participation helps thestudents “keep their feet on the ground” and helps to ensure that their projects will be more thanjust an academic exercise that only looks good on paper – ideally, we would like

classrooms” have recently received increasing interest.1 In these classrooms, instructor-centered in-class lectures are replaced by student-centered learning activities such as problemsolving, Q & A sessions, etc. It challenges the accustomed traditional methods of collegeeducation and influences engineering education at every level: individual instructors, studentgroups, departments, colleges, and institutions. Proponents believe it is an inevitable trend inengineering undergraduate education, which brings deep learning to realization. Because coursecontent is digitized and posted online in “flipped classrooms”, in-class periods now can be usedfor interactive and purposeful activities. It allows flexibilities in how instructors operate
