thestudents cooperated to learn how the best conduct the experiment.3. Incremental and continual improvement: Each of the five pilots in his/her class section wasgiven the opportunity to fly the drone for at least two trials. The pilots increased their flyingspeed average from 4.3 ft/s to 4.7 ft/s from the first to the second trial. Furthermore, the standarddeviation of the time recorded decreased from 2.4 seconds to 1.2 seconds, showing incrementalimprovement of accuracy. This can be attributed to both a refinement of piloting skills and betteraccuracy of time data collection by paying closer attention to starting and stopping the watch.Those who observed the experiment and sought out error sources continually improved byidentifying patterns
solid model initially provided by the OEM (which wasmade purposefully deficient to illustrate the effect of poor modeling) and incorrectly predicted thefailed component(s). The next instructional phase was in experimental setup, nondestructivemeasurement techniques, data acquisition systems, and analysis of experimental data. This led tostudents running destructive experiments on real OEM assemblies in the lab, and discovering thattheir predictions did not match reality. We took advantage of the teaching opportunity to illustratethe effect of problem setup in meshing the solid models; students corrected and optimized theirmodel and were able to correctly predict the failed component. This exactly mirrors what happensin the OEM’s own labs.The

Students in theFall 2013 course participated in the traditional version of the course while those in the Fall 2014and Spring 2015 courses participated in the flipped version. There were no differences in GPA,age, or gender between students in the traditional versus flipped courses. However, students inthe flipped sections had slightly more International students.Quantitative resultsAnalyses were run to test whether differences existed between a traditional versus flipped courseon student performance, course

Following thepattern of this work in progress, we offer two illustrative research questions: How should the function of faculty development be addressed at different institutional levels, e.g., departmental, college, institutional, national, and international? How are faculty engagement with and responses to formal faculty development initiatives characterized, and how might these characteristics, patterns, etc. inform future faculty development initiatives?Bibliographic Information1.

The approach follows a verticalintegration scheme which first introduces the SHRP 2 products to freshman undergraduatestudents and then presents relevant SHRP 2 products to the junior level classes with a briefreview session at the beginning to refresh their memory. The vertical integration scheme thenpresents relevant SHRP 2 products in senior/graduate level classes. The depth of technicalcontent of the SHRP 2 modules increases from freshman to senior/graduate levels—building onthe information provided in previous year(s).

quality improvement systems of the program may well require acultural shift of the institution’s administrators and faculty.ConclusionsFor continuous improvement processes, ABET’s Criterion 4 focuses the primary mechanismprogram improvement on appropriate assessment and evaluation of student outcomes (whatstudents need to know and be able to do at the time of graduation), e.g., data driven improvementactions based on demonstrated student learning (or lack of such learning). The AUN-QA criteriahave a much broader focus on quality improvement, asking programs to use a wide variety ofinputs within their quality system. Some of the measures of quality included in the AUN-QAcriteria include traditional output measures, e.g., Criterion 10’s
