the role of evidence-based instructional practices in a blendedcourse for a freshman engineering course. The instructor had been teaching this constructionmanagement class combining traditional lecturing and in-class discussions. The instructor soughtto increase students’ engagement with the material, each other, and himself as well as dedicateclass time to active learning activities, higher order thinking skills, and application of concepts.The present research was conducted to explore blended course design in addressing theaforementioned instructional challenges. Blended learning is an instructional mode thatcombines substituting a significant portion of time spent in the classroom with online preparatorycontent and assessments. The online

Werefer to these skills as engineering competencies. An excerpt from the course syllabus describingthe assignment is shown in Appendix A.Future research can focus on analyzing data from students’ e-portfolios. Based on our findingsfrom the analysis of the reflection essays, we anticipate that students’ e-portfolio responses mayreflect their transition
