Building on that prior work, our objective here is to prove the effectiveness of the hybrid formatintroduced in the course. To that end, two feedback tools were implemented: (1) a pre-coursesurvey was used to gauge the students’ self-reported knowledge on key element of the course. Thesame survey questions were added to the end of semester survey, thus enabling us to quantify theprogress that was made. (2) Student participation was recorded during all class sessions, thusproviding us with information about the effect of the business-school inspired elements on

order to effectively solve the complex problems of today, engineers are often required to workin teams [1]. ABET accredited programs are therefore required to equip students with “an abilityto function effectively on a team […] [2]. Although there are many opportunities throughout theundergraduate engineering curriculum to incorporate team work (i.e. group assignments andpresentations, lab courses, design projects, etc.), students do not typically receive formalguidance on how to be an effective teammate. This can limit students’ opportunities toconscientiously practice and improve upon their team-working skills.Students placed in teams without additional guidance on effective teamwork techniques canstruggle, and the team may merely divide work

Interactive lectures clarified and reinforcedfoundational knowledge and its application from the reading assignments, and students wereexpected to respond to questions about the reading, to fill in connections to previous classmaterial, and/or to volunteer examples from their own experiences (in other classes, internships,research projects, etc.).

During informal conversations withstudents, at least two have mentioned to the GTA how their outlook on design has beeninfluenced by #FunTimesWithTheTA. Students noted that they took design principles learned in#FunTimesWithTheTA and applied them to their senior design projects.

this question has produced significant research under thetitle of “active learning” [1], [18]–[22]. In discussing “active learning,” we are often addressingpedagogical approaches that have been developed to support increased engagement in thelearning process [3]. These pedagogies are developed and influenced from the shared, growingunderstanding of how people learn, as described in theories of learning and learning science [23].Active learning pedagogies, such as cooperative learning or project-based learning, tend to drawupon social constructivism and situated theories of learning, as well as cognition [3]. In lookingacross these theories, learning is not just an act of information processing, but an act of sense-making individually and with
