manned exploration of the red planet and subsequent colonization efforts byboth public and private entities [5] NASA’s journey into air and space has not only deepenedhumankind’s understanding of the universe but it has also inspired and motivated millions ofstudents to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Since1994, NASA has sponsored an annual competition for high school and college students to design,build, and race human-powered mars rovers. These collapsible vehicles must navigate simulatedouter space terrain, engaging students and providing valuable experiences in the technologies andconcepts that will be needed in future exploration missions [6] In April 2018, the team from theUniversity of the

Implementation of pedagogical methods such asa flipped classroom may prove beneficial when addressing common limitations in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines such as long-term knowledge retention and student retentionrates in STEM fields through to graduation. The long-term knowledge retention rates of material implemented ina flipped classroom are unknown, with some studies reporting improved long-term knowledge retention [5],while others report decreased knowledge retention [6]. Furthermore, student retention rates in STEM fields alsoremains a challenge.

Qualitative feedback collected during focus group interviews clearly align with theobjectives of this study, and the treatment group participants have expressed value in theadditional time created from the PFC instructional model. Students describe the flippedclassroom model as a more relaxed and effective learning environment. The formative feedbackregarding the technology and use of time in the flipped classroom collected during this study hasbeen invaluable to the continuous improvement process of this instructional model during thesemester.IntroductionTo handle the complex challenges associated with engineering and other STEM fields, it isimportant that students engage higher-order cognitive skills including the

A first step in developing a consensus regarding what core content should be included ina degree program is a consensus on the field to which the degree program belongs. Chevilledescribed the importance of a shared understanding of engineering, but the same can be appliedto the specific discipline of BME [10, pg. 3]: “...for engineering educators the definitions of engineering do matter since they inform what we should do. Definitions also point out potential conceptual imprecisions; if we do not interpret a definition the same way then there is a potential for miscommunication and subsidiary ideas may themselves be imprecise.

CAD software permits the rapid exchange ofdesign and manufacturing information regardless of where the team members may be locatedaccording to these authors. Successful teams master and use communication tools effectively towork with their teammates. Sophomore students are already capable of using smart phones,computers, and other technology for communication. However, their use is often for personalneeds, entertainment, or social interaction.

analysis of several additional comics.Background Chemical engineering can be a difficult major for any student, given the complexity of the coreconcepts and frequency with which the subject matter can be highly theoretical. This challenge isparticularly difficult to address as an instructor, given the breadth of fields within chemical engineering,and the resulting range in depth of mastery that each student will need upon graduating. These challengesare similar to those facing current education in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), inparticular the theoretical nature of some core concepts. Traditional approaches to support instruction,and establish connection between concepts and applications, include providing examples of real
