The flipped classroommodel further reinforced comprehension by encouraging students to take ownership of their learn-ing.However, the comparative data analysis revealed mixed outcomes. While some students thrivedunder the teacher-guided method, others struggled to adapt, particularly due to low lab attendanceand the demanding nature of the project.

As a consequence, the continuanceand sequencing in the curriculum was broken. Based on these experiences, an alternative wassuggested in which various educational formats were employed to support the problem-basedlearning process. Prior to introducing the “PBL learning blocks”, a series of “preparatorylearning blocks” were offered. This allows the students to master some subjects in which theirprior knowledge is below a minimum level. Preparatory blocks should provide students withknowledge they can apply in PBL blocks, and the PBL blocks should motivate students toexplore further in-depth study6. This approach had been

However, as proven of a techniqueas it is, many technical educators still are resistant to implementing AT in their classrooms for avariety of reasons; these can include: “the notion that students must first master the underlyingprinciples and theories of a discipline before being asked to solve substantive problems in thatdiscipline3, it requires too much effort to change existing course notes, and the class-time it takesto

In realitywhat would have to be employed would be a small, portable lab station that could be utilized byall students in the class at some location other than a classroom or laboratory setting. Toimplement this approach, several key attributes for the portable lab system were identified. First,it must be self-contained allowing the student to perform all of the experiments without access tothe Electric Circuits Laboratory, specialized test equipment and dedicated software. Secondly,the system had to be simple so as to allow a student with little or no training to easily master itsuse within a brief period (i.e. 15 minutes

Students often master the courseand laboratory work associated with courses in the curriculum, but they do not gain acomprehensive engineering experience that requires them to synthesize what they have learnedin their curriculum and extend their knowledge through independent learning that reaches outsidetheir field of study, specifically in the topics of constructability. This is further observed atcommunity colleges where students do not have the opportunity of being immersed in a large-scale engineering academic environment of a four-year institution and frequently lose interest inpursuing further education or an engineering career.This educational gap is systematic among engineering universities.
