For twosemesters, the Microprocessors course at East Carolina University (ECU) has been taught in aflipped classroom format allowing students to watch online lectures before attending each lectureperiod and to allow students more opportunities to ask questions and complete learning activitiesin class. During the scheduled lecture period students are encouraged to work with each other tocomplete hands-on in-class exercises allowing them to evaluate their understanding of thematerial presented in the online lecture and the assigned reading. Such in-class exercises mayinvolve answering conceptual questions, writing code, or building circuits. It was observed bythe instructor in previous semesters that some students who had a good grasp of

Despitethe importance of metacognition, much of the research has occurred in controlled researchsettings such that much less is known about how to help students develop metacognitive skills inclassroom settings. Further, there are significant bodies of research on the role of metacognitionin writing and solving math problems, but little work has been done on the role of metacognitionwithin engineering disciplines. As part of a larger project to generate transferable tools that canbe used to teach and evaluate undergraduate engineering students’ metacognitive skills, we aredeveloping

The start-up packages are opento all new faculty, but those who attend the NFLC programming are able to share and refine their ideasin the space afforded by the community. In short, it behooves a new faculty member to attend thesemeetings so they can write a stronger proposal.Faculty are also introduced to best practices for retaining URMs and scholarship in that area throughcollaboration
