The students then came to class with their pathways and formedteams with the goal of creating a master, draft disease pathway. This pathway was termed the“Do Nothing” disease pathway as specific treatments or interventions were not considered. 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. Additionally, to seed thoughts for the next assignment related to device-basedinterventions, students were required to identify five common interventional points where adiagnostic or

In thiscourse, engineering students of all disciplines learn about fundamentals of engineering such asstatistics, economics, ethics, etc. It is important for students to master these basic engineeringprinciples early in their curriculum in order to succeed in future classes within their degreeprograms.

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.
