” is a somewhat vague, but critical, teaching goal.Intuition is often described as subconsciously following a set of rules,1-3 developed throughexperience, and leads to better decisions in complex situations.4 In the Dreyfus model,progressing from novice (thoughtlessly following the rules) to an expert (one who examines theresults) requires intuition5 which is often difficult to teach or explain.Transitioning from a novice to expert can occur with the help of technology. Examples such asclickers or automatic response systems, Learning Catalytics, PollEverywhere, Hotseat, and TopHat have been shown to improve student learning.6,7 When implementing technology, however,it is important to note whether the learning that occurs is deep or shallow
efficiency of classroom activities and the effectiveness of the instructor’s teaching in the limited formal class time.V. Student Feedback At the end of Spring 2014 and midway through Spring 2017 semesters, surveys were conducted to obtain feedback from twenty-six students in 2014 and twenty-three students in 2017. These surveys contained questions concerning the flipped-lab pedagogy, the NI myDAQ measurement module, and the Multisim circuit simulation software. Nine opinion questions and four open- ended questions were included in the survey. The nine opinion questions were the following: 1. I feel that the format of this course improved my overall learning compared to a traditional laboratory course. 2. I feel that the format

Generally, it is arranged for engineering undergraduates in the summer holiday at theend of the 6th semester, taking about 2-3 weeks (1 month for individual major) inprofessional-related factories or enterprises. During the practice, students are organized intorelevant units to visit workshops, laboratories and other sites. They listen to special lectures,and participate in alumni exchange meetings as well. For some non-confidential industries,short-term hands-on links may be arranged for the students, in which factory workers directlyteach students on actual operation and production processes.Colleges and universities

instructor’s perspective to guarantee that all lecture “attendees” had accessto a computer with MATLAB/SIMULINK® (available through the Rowan University cloud forall students).In summary, our comparison of two cohorts of Process Dynamics and Control students suggeststhat online delivery is neither beneficial nor detrimental to student learning (as measured byperformance on a common final exam), suggesting that an online course in this area could beutilized effectively by programs struggling to find an instructor for the course, or by instructorsseeking to implement a flipped classroom.References:1.
