involvedin traditional lecture were found to be 1.5 times more likely to fail as compared to those in classes withsignificant active learning. Some of the active learning techniques are peer review, flipped classrooms,hands-on technology, and cooperative group problem solving. Here is a brief description of thesemethods [10].In “peer review”, students are asked to complete an individual homework assignment or short paper. Onthe day the assignment is due, students submit one copy to the instructor to be graded and one copy totheir partner. Each student then takes their partner's work and, depending on the nature of theassignment, gives critical feedback, and corrects mistakes in content and/or grammar.In the “flipped classroom”, class time is devoted

have long struggled to create inclusive and equitable learningenvironments, and many engineering administrators remain skeptical about the benefits of suchinitiatives [1]. Thus, most of such work has been spearheaded by administrative groups such asdepartments of Diversity and Inclusion and Gender Studies who typically seek to promote equitythrough changes to broader institutional culture [2-4]. Student classroom experiences, however,remain relatively neglected and thus such efforts rarely inspire STEM faculty buy-in.Consequently, students from historically underrepresented groups, especially students perceivedto have lower social capital than their peers, may still face disparities in their classroomexperiences, disparities that may include

undergraduate teaching assistantships in the flipped classroom, anenvironment in which TAs take on a more important role than in a traditional classroom. Flippedlearning builds upon active learning, a constructivist approach to learning that emphasizeslearning by doing [18-20]. Active learning is based on the principles that students are activelyresponsible for their own learning within a collaborative process with peers and tutors [21].Flipped learning takes this further by moving the passive and individual-focused parts of STEMlearning – the first introduction to the material – out of the classroom entirely. This frees classtime to be devoted to interactive activities, such as problem-based learning, that reinforce coursematerial without sacrificing

As they strive to improve the first year engineeringand/or mathematics student experience at their campuses, they have engaged in differentapproaches; including Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL), formation of an Engineering LearningCommunity (ELC), and engaging students in outreach as STEM Ambassadors.

Thestudents produced the designs in two steps: first as small groups producing the design andpresenting to the peers and a panel of judges for critiquing and in the second rectifying theshortcomings identified from the presentations and feedback from judges. In the subsequentexamination, majority of the students performed well in the question relating to the activitiessurrounding the workshop.

This study directly follows one (give prompt feedback)and indirectly supports three of the principles (develop cooperation among students, encouragesactive learning, and communicates high expectations).Homework facilitates learning and it can also be used to assess learning.
