]. Research shows that student interest in STEM field decreases as their grade levelsincrease [2]. It is expected that in the next five years, there will be a shortage of talented andskilled employees in STEM fields [1], [2].Among the reasons that U.S. students lack interest in STEM fields is their perception that formalK-12 STEM education is not directly relevant to their daily life experiences [3], [4]. Themathematical and scientific content presented in formal settings does not appear to be directlyuseful in their day-to-day experiences and their interactions with others in their community.Content knowledge is often presented in a way that seems compartmentalized and impractical [3]– [7]. Especially in their social interactions with peers, family

Research has shown a student preference for theflipped class model relative to traditional models [9],[24]-[27]. Student engagement within theclassroom setting and with peers is also facilitated by the flipped class model [23]. Interestingly,some research suggests high-performing students benefit more than weaker-performing studentsfrom a flipped class [27]. In addition, flipped classrooms have been shown to be impactful forretaining people of color in STEM [28].1.3 Why did we attempt a flipped class?While the flipped classroom approach may not be appropriate or effective for all types ofcourses, instructors, or

. Examining the pattern of instructor and student activity during the observed class (seeTable 1) suggests that these activities were both active and well-aligned with the learningoutcomes. For example, the instructor only spent a small portion of class time lecturing (20%)and addressing students as a whole group (24%). Instead, he directed students to work in smallgroups, where they spent the majority of class time (76%). The instructor assigned five grouptasks during the observation and spend his time monitoring students’ work (56%) and interactingwith small groups (56%). Students, in turn, spent most of class discussing with their peers (68%)and engaging in Level 1 activities (64%), such as calculating and following procedures, andLevel 3

There are also disadvantages documented in the literature.

However, nearly 40% of students never even visit their universities’ career servicesoffices [1]. Disseminating useful information on career and professional development, therefore,must occur through the individual department. And, the timing of such exposure should be suchthat the student can contextualize any career advice received; giving students advice in interviewstrategies, for example, when they are in the midst of finding internships is more effective thanadvice given pre-college, which is naturally proffered in the
