We alternated instructionalmethodology (traditional lecture + flipping) between the two sections of Dynamics in spring 2018.The traditional lecture sessions were taught with hand-written note lectures (with limited activelearning) and completed two typical numerical homework problems per topic. For the flippedsessions, students watched instructional lecture videos prior to class, worked through a hands-onin-class activity, and completed analytical questions related to the in-class activity whichsubstituted for 1 of the 2 homework problems on each topic.

to create this sought-after learning environment in the context of a single-semester laboratory course?Students in engineering laboratory courses experience hands-on, open-ended, inquiry-basedlearning. This type of learning is pedagogically favorable to the passive learning that sometimesoccurs during lecture-based content delivery. The problem with labs, however, is that studentsmust often invest much time in data collection, reduction, and analysis for the sake of learningwith no tangible outcome, artifact, or external benefit. Contemporary student populations valueand engage better with learning activities that have some impact complimentary but external totheir own learning [1].Project-based educational laboratory courses can be

Its growth as a field of study and as astandard of practice is understandable in light of concerns about dwindling resources, populationand developmental growth, and environmental sensitivity based on global warming and othernatural phenomena.

IntroductionThe motivation for differentiated instruction (DI) is based on the observation that any classenvironment will consist of learners of different abilities, interests, learning styles and culturalbackgrounds. This implies that learners will respond to instruction differently, and the one-size-fits-all teaching approach, commonly utilized in college classrooms, is less than optimal from thestandpoint of student learning. DI acknowledges the diverse characteristics of the individuallearner by designing learning experiences that are adapted to meet the unique learning needs of astudent with the expectation of improving student success compared to the one-size-fits-allparadigm.

thePresident’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) in 2012, there is a projectedneed for 1 million more STEM professionals than the U.S. will produce at the current rate over thenext decade [1]. More specifically, the U.S. will need to increase the number of students whoreceive undergraduate STEM degrees by about 34% annually over current rates to meet that need[1]. The recruitment and retention of more ethnic minorities into STEM fields is needed to assistin closing the gap between the current supply and demand for STEM professionals. Minoritieshave historically been underrepresented in STEM. In fact, underrepresented minorities (AfricanAmerican, Native American and Hispanic) earned just 18.9% of all bachelor’s degrees awarded

. Oneillustrative example of evolution of engineering curriculum is the ASEE-commissioned “Reportof the Committee on Evaluation of Engineering Education”, the so-called Grinter report from1955 [1]. The first draft of the Grinter report called for two models of engineering education, withmost engineering students being prepared for industry and the remainder given a more advancedscientific preparation [2]. However, most engineering schools, wanting access to governmentresearch funding, protested, leading to the final report calling for a single model with an increasedfocus on science.The Grinter report recommended that all engineers should gain a background in the sixengineering sciences of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat and

Three segments were chosen fromeach circuit for initial analysis: takeoff, enroute 1, and approach 1. EEG brainwaves observedacross multiple frequency bands were found to have changed over the segments. In particular, wefound that the theta band, often an indicator of drowsiness, decreased for the majority ofparticipants. We also computed the engagement index, which was generated as a composite ofthree EEG channels: alpha, delta, and theta.

Data has been collected on students’ performance onhomework, quizzes and exams, and also on the students’ thoughts on learning and coursedelivery. Thus far, we have concluded that the use of traditional hand-written homework,frequent assessment via quizzes [1], or the Pearson Mastering Engineering [2] software forformative assessment did not have a significant impact on students’ performance on exams. Itwas also observed that neither traditional nor online homework scores correlated well with examscores; however, in-class quizzes did correlate with final exam scores.

Therefore,it is important to shift faculty beliefs, and in turn, practices, regarding teaching strategies fromprimarily lectures to a more engaging, student-centered style classroom. One way to achieve thisis through professional development programs. These programs have potential to increase facultyawareness of research regarding effective instructional techniques, while also providing spaceand opportunity for ongoing discussion around classroom innovations and active learningteaching practices. Professional development programs facilitate processes where faculty canengage in deep and ongoing learning and discussion around student-centered teaching practices.In turn

Forty years of social scienceresearch have shown the prevalence of implicit bias against women and the ways in which suchbiases impact decisions in hiring, performance evaluations, and compensation. However, similarstudies are scarce in India.Extremely few women in India were earning engineering degrees in the 1980s. Compared to theUnited States, where about 10% of engineering degrees were earned by women, less than 2% ofengineering degrees were earned by women in India [1, 2].
