Another exampleis the use of the Flipped classroom model [6]. The current paper addresses the application of theFlipped classroom model in a Structural Engineering laboratory course at the junior undergraduatelevel.The CourseThe course selected to introduce the Flipped classroom model concepts was a junior level civilengineering laboratory course, CE382 “Computer Aided Structural Analysis, Design andExperimentation Laboratory.” The prerequisites for the course are i) Strength of MaterialsLaboratory and ii) Introduction to Structural Design.

Furthermore, considering recent industry feedback and the rise of globalization within theworkplace, it is growing more apparent that employers also value creative solutions, criticalthinking, and problem solving skills in their new hires [2]. According to the United State’sAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), design is recognized as central toall types of engineering and aids in developing a student’s ability to evaluate and design a need-fulfilling system, process or component [7].

engineering is practiced [1]. This realization has led toa growing body of work documenting efforts towards the contextualization of engineeringeducation [3], [4]. Much of the literature tying engineering education to human or societal context stemsfrom the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) and Engineering Studies. Fundamentalto STS is the tenant that science and technology are not objective and isolated; rather the creationof new knowledge and technology are influenced by society, politics, and culture, and thesetechnologies in turn will have impacts on society [5]. Over time, this area of work has led toresearch that examines how integrating socio-technical thinking in the engineering classroom candevelop more holistic
