Even if computers were brought to class with the purpose of taking notes, or access classmaterial, too many students were using theirs for activities not related to the lecture (e.g. surfingthe web, checking emails, instant messaging, etc.). We knew we were not alone, as many of ourcolleagues were facing the same issues, but this was of little avail. [1,2]What we didIn 2013 we received a grant from our institution to “flip the classroom” and we decided to use itfor our 4 credit course in Ordinary Differential Equations. The main reasons were 1) both of ushad been teaching the course for several semesters, and 2) the natural structure of the lecture: model of differential equation à

our finding from 2015 that, after participation in thecourse, students were less likely to identify understanding the problem as one of the mostimportant design tasks 1.In response to this finding, the 2016 curriculum was modified to increase emphasis onunderstanding the problem before beginning to build anything. Originally students wereprovided the design prompt (make a stove) and permitted to proceed in whatever waythey saw fit without much in the way of instruction. When introducing the stove projecton campus in 2016, the instructors first spent an hour exploring concepts associated withcombustion to better understand both the technical aspects involved with building astove, and other ways in which people have solved the problem of

Next, a user interface was developed to gather relevant details from designers about theirprojects, upon which a mathematical comparison is performed against each of the designapproaches’ strengths and characteristics. The result is a recommendation for which designprocess, method, or environment (or combination thereof) is best-suited to the problem at hand.Design ApproachesMechanical Engineering Figure 1.

This expands the task of educators from imparting contentknowledge to guiding students in experiences that produce new ideas (West, 2016). Science education can improve if educators are focused on teaching for transformative,aesthetic experiences (Pugh & Girod, 2006).

Furthermore, students musthave a 2.5 cumulative GPA in their math, science and introductory engineering courses in orderto be admitted to the program. The application includes pre-engineering prerequisites, which forthe purpose of this study, serve as individual predictors to examine if specific courses contributeto the performance in certain upper division courses.

will alleviate some major issues that have already been identified asfollows: some of current trainers use power systems of 120 volts alternating current which can bevery dangerous [1]. Parallax error and soft limitation can be seen as obtained by measurement.Perhaps, the most crippling disadvantage of the current equipment is the low number of usablePLCs.By using the new trainers, visualization of topics is possible which helps students to betterunderstand the topics. The trainers also give digital input and output and analog input and output.It is controlled manually by using motors and automatically by using sensors.Problem StatementThe main problems associated with PLCs can be broken down into the following list: • Getting new hardware
