most content-heavy courses in a traditional Mechanical Engineeringcurriculum by including many Active Learning teaching and learning techniques. In this practice-based research project, the authors attempted to answer the following questions: 1) Could thestudents learn the breadth and depth of the content via Active Learning, 2) How do the studentsvalue the Active Learning experience as compared to a traditional approach and 3) Is the facultyexperience such that it would motivate them to use Active Learning techniques in the future? Inorder to answer these questions, the course was redesigned to eliminate traditional lecturing andthe solving of example problems by the instructor. Instead example problems are placed online tobe reviewed by the

their sensor system, which is fabricated forthe students to populate. There are two main motivations for this. First, having their system on aPCB instead of a regular solderless breadboard helps to meet the weight requirements for theballoon launch. Second, providing students with early exposure to the PCB design process willimprove their efficiency in later projects by minimizing the time required to get a custom PCBup and running. Currently, a student’s first attempt at completing a PCB may come in their 3rd or4th year project when a more complex design is required. In such cases, their projectdevelopment time is greatly increased. The ECE 110 course was offered for the second time inthe Spring 2016 session. The syllabus for ECE 110 is in

They providecritical prerequisite skills for both Engineering and Computer Science students, and for many,they represent a barrier to not only success, but also entry into those programs. In January of2014, CTU had a 50% withdraw rate in Pre-calculus, and in the summer of that year, we sawsimilar results in Trigonometry. Although we could not determine exact numbers, we knew fromspeaking with faculty and advisors that students were leaving Engineering because they couldnot get past these two critical math courses.

The “soft classroom” was the students’ first choice, over the “hybridclassroom” and “hard classroom.” Therefore, they were not required to attend theclassroom physically. In addition, the students were responsible for their own pace oflearning, without their learning progress being regularly checked. The instructor andteaching assistants were still available in the classroom during the course hours to interactwith students.

Modules were implemented into three engineering courses at thefreshman, sophomore, and senior level. The goal of the ethics modules was to be easy toincorporate into an already established engineering syllabus, peak student interest in ethics, andprovide some baseline exposure to ethics and give instruction as to how to analyze and handle anethical dilemma.

that the best time for the workshop would be at thebeginning of the fall semester. Some faculty deemed the workshop so relevant to their classesthat they decided to include it in their syllabus for the fall and make it mandatory for theirstudents to participate. One other very important idea suggested by faculty was that theworkshop be recorded and made available online so that it could be available to those notparticipating in the workshop and enabling its content be reused in future courses. This initialplanning step also helped secure the faculty speakers for the campus session.The faculty enthusiasm was so great that the news about the workshop reached multiple officeson campus that were interested in offering event support.

unfamiliarwith fantasy role-playing games.Much like GamerCard, the gamification in these classes included both quests and experiencepoints, but narrative was also a major factor for Toth and Kayler’s system. The need for anengaging narrative is grounded in the level of immersion needed to keep the role-playingmeaningful. Since GamerCard does not focus on role-playing, the quests are not ascontextualized. One might argue that such narrative is effective, but would make a system moredifficult to incorporate into a variety of courses, as extraneous effort would be demanded of theinstructor to come up with activities relevant to the existing syllabus.2.3 Gamification of Game DesignOther universities are trying out similar gamification strategies.

Yet,as a result of both growth and lack of coordination between instructional faculty, a situation haddeveloped by 2005-6 which students, the mathematics department, and others recognized asbeing problematic. At that time, from a student’s perspective, it appeared to matter more, “whoyou took,” than “what you learned” in terms of their chances of passing the course.1 This wassupported by pass rate data; the average pass rate in 2005-6 was 51% and ranged from 30% to90% depending on who taught the course.2 The variation in pass rate was a confounding
