the learning objectives of the courses have been accomplished, theirconfidence in taking on new challenges in these domains, and the degree to which they feel thatthe HPL centers entered into the course. This last topic was addressed by a series of elements notdirectly asking about HPL, but framed to reveal this. For example, to understand whether thecourse was assessment-centered we asked their level of agreement with the statements, “Ireceived adequate feedback on my work,” and “I was able to obtain enough practice onimportant topics.”Another part of the quantitative study was gauging to what extent the teaching reflects HPL. Weexpected simply by using the laboratory kits and employing active learning, these courses will beassessment and

The second theme describes how students perceive facultyteaching approaches within their departments, again with two emergent dimensions: traditionalversus contemporary and prescribed versus open-ended. The traditional versus contemporarydimension focuses on the pedagogical practices used in non-laboratory and laboratory courses.Traditional approaches are those considered prototypical of engineering. For example, studentsdescribing traditional approaches talk about classes dominated by lectures in which students arerequired to take notes or read PowerPoint ® slides, and course assessments consist mostly ofindividual assignments and quizzes. Similarly, students in

This makes everysemester a little different, and keeps the interest of the instructors as they work to continuouslyimprove their course.C. ConclusionThe amount of formative feedback provided by students as they reflected on their flippedlearning experience has provided formative data for the professors as they work to improve theECE1250 class as well as provided students with deeper insights into their own learningprocesses that helped them in this class and which they can take forward with them into futurecourses. The structure and expectations of the flipped learning classroom provided a frameworkfor students to follow as

,hardware, data sheets from Texas Instruments, other reference materials [10], and books. Thegoal was to take the initial complex material and concepts and synthesize that content into asound instructional format that can be used directly as class and laboratory lecture material.The collaborated effort resulted in different course and lab modules that can be used directly inclass lecture, discussion, or in a real-time distance teaching environment. The initial labs werereferenced from the COSMIAC workshop material and further refined and developed into moredetailed step-by-step guides that students can follow. All the course materials were tested byfaculty at ODU and FSC before being disseminated through the project LMS platform. Faculty atODU
