close to a traditional format with some breaksfor self-assessment, the second meeting consists of think-pair-share exercises covering thematerial from the previous meeting, and the third meeting is student-led presentation ofhomework solutions and associated Q&A. Exams are common across sections and the facultyfollow the course schedule strictly, so that students from different sections can form studypartnerships that will continue to benefit them as they progress through the rest of the electricalengineering curriculum. Student response to the course has been positive, with course evaluationresponses exceeding the average score for first year courses in the MSOE EECS department.StudyIn order to measure the effectiveness of the introduction

algebra. The following topics areamong those areas: a) How to multiply two matricesIf we multiply a m×n (m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns) matrix by a n×pmatrix, the result will be a m×p matrix. If the number of columns of the first matrix is not equalto the number of rows of the second matrix, we cannot multiply those two matrices.In multiplication of two matrices, if the order of the two matrices change, if still the dimensionsallow multiplication, the result of multiplication will be different than the previous multiplicationunlike the multiplication of two scalars. b) How to write a set of equations with multiple unknowns in the form of matrices.If we have a set of q linear equations with q unknowns, the equations

Especially the beginning parts of the CRTS manual which lacks clarity [...] I am not an expert in using Ubuntu[....]The CRTS manual can be improved by providing easier and user friendly methods [to perform] various tasks.” (5) Instructions for each phase of the competition were not always clear or timely: “There should be some better source that we can go and see up to date instructions and Q&A for each step.

But, a significant fraction of around20% thought that it did not help their learning, or worse. While we would like to decrease thelatter percentage, some pushback should be expected given that for many students this is theirfirst exposure to college and engineering coursework.

to think about the topic and assess their learning of thatconcept. In the second step, the students got the chance to communicate their findings or theconfusions with other students. Also, during the second step, the instructor joined the students'conversations, and it provided the opportunity for all of the students to interact with theirprofessor in the format of a discussion rather than a formal Q and A practiced in the standardlecture classes. The students were asked to explain their solutions or their approach to solving theproblems to each other so they would exchange ideas and get exposed to different ways ofsolving a problem. The instructor asked the students to find another student who came up with adifferent answer and challenge

increases student engagement. Using video,students can pause or rewind if the content didn’t make initial sense. The professor can simulatequestion and answer approach in a F2F classroom in an online environment by using interactivevideo. Student feedback found in Appendix A, shows that interactive video experimented during2016 provides a more engaging experience and documented elsewhere by the authors [4].Because watching a video is mostly a passive experience, the authors wanted students to havemore interaction with the videos to increase engagement. In EE 110 for example, embeddedquestions were posted on top of the videos to simulate a Q&A conversation with students.Interactions were added without redoing the 9 hours of 70-plus videos using
