the process of scoring resubmissions. Time savings can also be achieved by allowing students to continue from the point in a problem where their mistake occurred.Mastery grading on the whole can improve student learning, and if done correctly it can be aneasy way for new engineering educators to establish a fair system that encourages studentgrowth. It is hoped that the guidelines provided above can help new engineering educatorsseamlessly integrate this innovate method into their classrooms.References[1] M. Borrego, J. E. Froyd, and T. S.

Shedoes pioneering research in a critical area and brings in big bucks to support the research,including several six-figure NSF grants and 60% release time. She publishes 5-10 paperseach year in the most prestigious journals in her field and is a shoo-in for the NationalAcademy. She is a dedicated and stimulating instructor and wins teaching awards at heruniversity and nationally.

Furthermore, all theinstructional tools that were developed and implemented in this hybrid classroom environmentwere also presented and discussed in this paper.IntroductionRecent studies have called for major pedagogical reforms to improve the quality of engineeringeducation by incorporative more active teaching styles1. Modern teaching styles apply student-centered learning techniques to effectively improve the quality of the learning process2,3.However, in today's tightly packed engineering curriculum, the amount of lecture time thatfaculty can afford to allocate to such active learning activities is very limited. In the early 2000’s,the notion of flipping the classroom started to

attributed to the development of value systems andvery high ethical standards, teaching others to generate knowledge, and the use of creativity anddiverse backgrounds to bring “unique perspective[s]” to research problems. One engineerdescribed the need for diversity in engineering in order to innovate: “The advances come whenyou’re sort of looking at—you’re applying something new to a different area and you’re bringingin people who haven’t looked at it before.” Others refer to the importance of collaborations andcollaborative work in generating advances in technology, especially between different fields (ex.mechanical engineering and psychology to advance mental health technologies), collaborationsbetween university research facilities and industry

of the fourinstitutions. These styles are characterized by the student’s desire to begin a task alone and thenevolve into a different mode of studying as the task progresses toward completion. We call thefirst of these two Start alone styles: Start alone, End together. This pattern of studying tends tofocus on a formal agreement among students to come together at a preset time(s) to discussdifficulties, compare answers, and engage in other benefits of collective effort. The secondvariation, Start alone, End almost together, while similar in philosophy to Start alone, Endtogether, tends to be more casual and less structured. In this pattern of studying, studentstypically agree with a group of other students to begin a task on their own, and

communication as their 1particular mode of autopoietic reproduction” (p. 3) As leading systems theorists Capra andLuisi[9] described: [Because] communications recur in multiple feedback loops, they produce a shared system of beliefs, explanations, and values – a common context of meaning – that is continually sustained by further communications (p. 308).Applying this theory to systems of higher learning, we argue that the social life (or “culture(s)”)of engineering colleges and departments is maintained by a network of communications fromwhich messages or stories emerge that reflect this “common context of meaning”.

It does notdiscuss individual programs, though it does offer some suggestions for finding them.Rather, it concentrates on finding out about funding opportunities and building a personalnetwork to enable oneself to compete effectively for them.The first step in getting funded is to come up with an idea. The next step is to find anagency that is interested in the area. Then the researcher must make a credible case that(s)he can make a contribution in the area. Sometimes this is through a single-investigatorproposal, but more and more frequently, it is as a member of a team. In the latter case,networking is crucial.2.
