While cutting away all theory may render the sequence intellectually barren, it will enablestudents to appreciate and master with greater facility physics, economics, and other disciplinesmaking use of the techniques of differentiation and integration. The math department must realizethat it is toward this end that most students in the A-sequence take calculus. The B-sequence, too, ought to be more practical. If somewhat fewer topics were covered,problem solving techniques could be added without sacrifice of rigor and theoretical sophistication.The orientation might then place the sequence somewhere between the present A and B tracks.

Further commentary would explain what factorsinfluenced the results to be non-ideal (which would indicate understanding of both the systemunder study and the data collection system at issue in the lab). Grading reflects mastery of theexperimental system—the more the student explains, the better the mark.As the students master the details of project set-up, we shift to more formal reporting, with shortreports that ask for project motivation, goals and methods as well as results, and we support thisby providing examples and by providing lectures on the structure of and

community, we should consider the responsible development of thesetechnologies.” [1] Such a vision for engineering is not new. In Engineers for Change: CompetingVisions of Technology in 1960s America, Matthew Wisnioski presents the struggle of engineersand the profession to define their purpose and identity [2]. Charles Vest, former NAE President,wrote: “The social and intellectual unrest of the 1960s forced engineers, long the masters ofhow, to confront why. The struggle to establish a socio-technical framework for engineering,university curricula to imbue it, and a popular understanding of it remain largely unmet today.”Wisnioski notes that “calls to make engineers more humane had a familiar ring” and elaborateson numerous efforts by ASEE, NAE

Inthe next assignment, each student created an annotated slide that displayed the student’s final“Do Nothing” pathway along with detailed information about five student-selected steps of thepathway.

The frequent testing, one exam every week, wasan implementation artifact from a more traditionally taught class. In a more traditionally taughtclass it is easy for students to postpone any studying until just before an exam. Providingfrequent assessment, in the form of a weekly test, helps keep students on-track. What theinstructor realized was that in the flipped class, students were genuinely working on the materialin every class meeting, and possibly didn’t need the extra motivation of weekly exams.Therefore, the instructor reduced the number of test by 50% by having an exam every two weeksinstead of every week

Consequently, undergraduate students demonstrated higher fault detection effectiveness and efficiency (not by a big margin though). These results hold true with the previous study at Microsoft [32] where higher level of technical education (i.e. Bachelors vs. Masters vs. Doctorate) was inversely correlated with inspection performance.
