desktop computer. We used low-cost (ca. 120USD) interactivetablets and styluses to enable annotation of the PowerPoint slides as we recorded each lecture orlecture segment. For programming- or spreadsheet-focused lectures, we used Microsoft Excel,VBA within Excel, MATLAB, or Simulink as appropriate, and could readily switch the videocapture between the programming environment and the relevant PowerPoints as needed. Ourpractice of splitting the lectures led to typical segment lengths of 5 – 15 minutes, and total videocontent per class period of 30 – 40 minutes.From a delivery standpoint, we initially used a flipped model in the Y3NM class. Lecture videoswere posted several days prior to class, and student were asked to watch the video(s) and often

-regulate bymaintaining a common in-class schedule and suggested due dates.There are, however, several potential issues related to a flexible deadline approach. The first isthe planning fallacy, where learners underestimate the time it takes to complete a task [3]. Ifflexible deadlines are in place, students may not undertake the requisite self-regulating strategiesin order to complete the assignments. Another potential issue with relaxed deadlines is thetendency for students to mass (cram) their work in very few study episodes just before thetasks(s) are due. Citing several works, Fulton et al. [3] note that distribution of practice (i.e.,more frequent deadlines) results in better performance across a wide range of tasks.In our experience

For a more in-depth look at the course sequence, consult Monroe et al. (2006) and Lima etal. (2001).ChangesDuring the past 25 years, a number of changes have occurred that have influenced thesecourses. These changes include an increase in student population and interest inbioengineering, ABET accreditation, and increasing collaboration among instructors. Each ofthese changes and the corresponding change in course(s) is discussed below.Changes in population and interests of

the source(s) of information related to their familiarity with the terms and conceptspresented in part 1 The post survey was separated into three parts; the first part was identical tothe pre survey (Post knowledge survey part 1). The second (Post knowledge survey part 2) askedthe students to identify, using a Likert scale, how well specific Moodle activities and additionalresources helped them to better understand the concepts and topics presented. The third (Postknowledge survey part 3) also asked the students, using a Likert scale, to identify how helpfulthe simulation (decision-making) game was in reinforcing specific concepts and topics but alsoincluded an open-ended question in which the students could provide any additional commentsor
