Students in primarilyengineering technology programs indicated that as a result of including real world engineeringexperiences in the curriculum they became more job ready and were actually receiving job offersas a result.13,14 More recently and partly in response to ASCE’s Body of Knowledge15 report andPolicy 46316, many schools

Ultimately, both groups reap the benefitsof such a course in the long term, developing realistic career goals early and more quicklygetting on a path to achieving them.For a first-year course to be most effective at improving student retention, it must provideinformation that is specifically relevant to its students.

Bishop[15] makes a strong case for the replacement of in person material delivery, which can be replacedwithout a loss in effectiveness by technological delivery of the content, and replacing it withproblem-based learning which is a much more effective approach for meeting instructionalobjectives.Flipping the classroom can lead to several benefits such as freeing class time for interactiveactivities like active and problem-based learning, presenting the educational material in differentformats to cater to students’ various learning styles and preferences, encouraging students tobecome self-learners, and preparing them for how they will need to learn as practicing engineers[8].
