learning while still ensuring students are provided with the requiredtechnical material can be an issue due to time constraints. Most engineering courses need the fullin-class time throughout the semester to ensure students are taught the technical content that isrequired for future courses or a future career. To allow for both active learning and teaching therequired technical material, a fundamental change in how the course is taught is needed. Byhaving students learn the lecture material outside of class, the time spent in class can be used tobetter engage students in active learning. In this approach, often called a flipped classroom,students partake in assigned materials before class by either watching prerecorded lecture videos,reading
