In a comparative literature review [2],it was discovered that there are significant differences in what has been understood and appliedin science classrooms as active learning. Consequently, Chi [2] developed a framework oflearning activities aimed at highlighting the different types of learning activities that are and canbe included in classrooms for maximized results.

Page 24.663.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Helicopters as a Theme in a Machine Design CourseAbstract The idea proposed here is to study helicopters and their components throughout a machinedesign course as a theme to teach students about different mechanical elements. A helicopter isan ideal system to exemplify the concepts taught in the course since all aspects of machinedesign are encapsulated in its design. Furthermore, a helicopter deeply pushes the limits ofsafety; the price of failure of one or more components or of the overall system is high (humanfatality). This suggests large factors of safety in the design, but there is an inherent tradeoff. Iffactors of safety are

The central objective of this pilot was to examinehow adaptation and later adoption of the new MIT edX 6.002x (Electronics and Circuits) MOOCcontent in a flipped model of teaching might improve student learning in a credit-bearing collegecourse. Multiple objectives for this pilot included: to improve the department’s typical passagerate of 59% for this course; to improve students’ retention rate; to shorten students’ time-to-degree; to improve the quality of the content of the course; and to reduce the prerequisitecontribution for successful passage of subsequent courses.
