Student performance in partially flipped ECE laboratory classesAbstractThe flipped classroom is a relatively new pedagogical method that is based on outside-of-class videolectures and practice problems as homework, as well as active group-based activities in the classroom. Thispaper describes the partial flipping of two electrical and computer engineering laboratory courses andevaluates the students’ performance under the flipped teaching approach. The primary motivation that drovethe first author to flip these classes was the desire to tailor class time to students’ needs, questions, andexperimentation. Both partially-flipped courses are composed of equally challenging modules that coverdifferent topics in digital signal processing and

Anonymous course evaluation data was used to showhow the students perceived the effectiveness of the group selection process and the groupevaluation tool.I. Background There are many different types of engineering laboratory courses. Historically, a labcourse involves students going to a defined space with fixed equipment that is used forhands-on experimentation. Allocating space for physical labs is usually a challenge, but itmight be even more difficult to purchase and maintain the equipment in physical labs andprovide adequate teaching support. In recent years, virtual labs have been used as acheaper alternative to

The remainder of this sectionprovides a brief summary of the SLR results.Teaching methods were organized by area of implementation: in-class/lecture,project/laboratory, out-of-class, and other. Overarching trends emerged across methodologicalcategories: ● Best practices focus on how students construct knowledge, rather than how instructors teach; ● Active learning interventions generally have positive impacts on student learning, especially when they replace (rather than supplement) lecture time; ● Project-based learning tends to increase student motivation in a course, though the
