, the heat transfercourse is taught in the junior year over a 10-week quarter with three 65-minute classes and a 90-minute laboratory session per week.In 2015, heat transfer was taught in an Inverted Classroom (IC). IC promotes students’ self-directed learning in fundamental heat transfer principles using online videos, quizzes, andinteractive problems outside of class time. Class time was used, in part, for mini-lectures,demonstrations, questions/answer sessions to correct student misconceptions, and exams toensure attainment of engineering fundamentals. However, the majority of class time was freedfor students to work on authentic engineering problems (AEP). These problems are key to theinstructional framework. The problems were developed by

Xilinx is still thelargest manufacturer of this technology in the world [4]. FPGAs are not only programmedthrough a traditional schematic fashion, they are also programmed using HDL. HDL is used todescribe the behavior of the circuits that are being created. Although HDLs describe nearly alladvanced circuits, certain circuits can be automatically synthesized, meaning that HDL code canbe rendered from a computer directly into a working design.
