their students to take at least one electrical engineering(EE) course1. However, on the other hand, some non-EE majors do not see the relevance of EEto their educational program until they face a real-world problem, often on-the-job aftergraduation, when the opportunity for learning applicable, real world skills or concepts in a coursehas already passed. Thus, one of the significant challenges engineering educators face is how toengage students of all engineering and technology majors in meaningful electrical & computerengineering activities that would encourage them to persist and pursue a career in engineeringand technology. Historically, incoming engineering and technology students had to work through a series ofmathematics and other

The most straightforward and accepted definitionof a flipped-classroom was given by Lage, Platt, and Treglia “Inverting the classroom means thatevents that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom now take place outside theclassroom and vice versa”1.
