In addition to project personnel discussed above, there were number of products and other resources that was available to the students to complete their project. The following are some of resources that was used for the project. • LulzBot TAZ 5 3D printer, and SOLIDWORKS D CAD software • Two RC vehicle chassis, including wheels and Lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries and charger • Three Raspberry Pi B+'s • A Ubiquiti Rocket M2 • LS20031 GPS Receiver • Electronics (PCB boards, wire of various gauges, a soldering iron, and miscellaneous electrical

An added complication is that thesound at any moment is dependent on the recent history of key strokes as much as the key(s)being immediately struck. Figure 4 shows a spectrogram of the sound generated by Dr.Bengtson’s Walter piano as note C4 is repeatedly struck. The spectrogram shows the interactionbetween resonant modes in the soundboard. Modes are seen to exchange energy, sometimesdisappearing then reappearing at a later time. The spectrogram was created using a Blackmanwindow of length 2048, an overlap of 1792, FFT length of 8192, and sample rate of 44,100 Hz. Figure 4.

feedback from the courseinstructors. The activities are arranged roughly in the chronological order in which they werepresented to the classes.Student Trading Cards. The work of Barker, O’Neill, & Kazim1 inspired this activity. Theinstructor has a set of cards with each student’s name on a card and when the instructor posesquestions to the class, s/he uses cards to select the student to answer. Using the cards allowsinstructors to more consistently call on all members of the class. We selected this activitybecause when the instructor looks for a response from any student it can help convey themessage that each individual possesses knowledge and personal experiences that might berelevant to an engineering problem.

organization. Within thewriting pedagogy community, the advantages and disadvantages of explicit instruction have longbeen debated, with critics of direct instruction arguing that it "prevent[s] our students fromenacting what they know tacitly."14 However, in our experience, few students have any tacitknowledge of engineering workplace genres. If they are given an assignment that asks for anunfamiliar document type – such as a technical memorandum or a cover letter – they typicallysearch the internet for something with the same name. Rather than leaving them to search ontheir own, we believe it is appropriate for engineering courses to teach students about industrystandards for documents, just as it is appropriate to teach about standards for

the need for student accountabilitymeasures to be part of the flipped classroom design. Students and faculty are used to that modelof instruction and there is evidence that a more behaviorist approach to the online content is acomponent of the flipped classroom model.4 More research and development of the flippedclassroom model is needed to determine the most effective methods and theoretical framework(s)from which to best design and implement the flipped classroom instructional model in highereducation.Conclusion It is clear that the flipped classroom instructional model is being used in engineeringgraphics education at the university level. The extent of its use and how the model isoperationalized across the field is not clear. This

The added practice has in thisinstance lead to higher average test scores.ReferencesHe, S., & Zhang, Y., & Shen, F.

. These projects create opportunity to save thecompany significant costs and improve profitability. For those students who cannot getthe problem from their company, the instructors can help find the external sponsors. Inthe event external sponsors are not available, the students will be working on their owntopic of interest. However, such topics have to be approved by the advising faculty beforestudents begin the work. During residency week, on day 1 (Monday), in the morning, the students will begin thesession by learning the business research process. In this session, they learn how they cantranslate a management dilemma to an executable research question(s). The afternoonsession covers literature review and referencing styles. Since many
