Students in theFall 2013 course participated in the traditional version of the course while those in the Fall 2014and Spring 2015 courses participated in the flipped version. There were no differences in GPA,age, or gender between students in the traditional versus flipped courses. However, students inthe flipped sections had slightly more International students.Quantitative resultsAnalyses were run to test whether differences existed between a traditional versus flipped courseon student performance, course

The approach follows a verticalintegration scheme which first introduces the SHRP 2 products to freshman undergraduatestudents and then presents relevant SHRP 2 products to the junior level classes with a briefreview session at the beginning to refresh their memory. The vertical integration scheme thenpresents relevant SHRP 2 products in senior/graduate level classes. The depth of technicalcontent of the SHRP 2 modules increases from freshman to senior/graduate levels—building onthe information provided in previous year(s).

plan toconduct similar studies in which we investigate the role of class level (i.e., freshman andsophomore classes versus junior and senior), major, and historically underrepresented groups,such as women and minorities. This preliminary study resulted in the development of a resourcethat instructors can hand out or show their students on the first day. Ultimately, in a field oftendriven by numbers, there is great power in showing engineering students that, mathematically,their academic success depends on consistent class attendance, diligent note-taking, and keepingup with the instructor during class.References1.
