globally. To be ready to enter the workforce upon graduation, today’s engineering studentsare expected to develop the skills and knowledge that are fundamental to engineering careers in theirundergraduate years. The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) has determinedthat fundamental skills include social skills, such as how to communicate effectively or function inmultidisciplinary teams, as well as proven technical skills, such as an ability to apply knowledge of math,science, and engineering [6], [18]. These skills can be referred to collectively as 21st century skills as theyprepare an engineer for contemporary work [7].The acquisition of 21st century skills by undergraduate engineering students may be catalyzed byengaging

, we will continue to assess improvements related to this flippedcourse over time. We are collecting data this semester as well, again for a “fully flipped class.However, in relation to evaluating the impact of the flipped classroom further into the future,perhaps we as an assessment community should begin to place more emphasis on longer-termmeasurement and evaluation after students have completed their undergraduate careers. Thus,perhaps we should be assessing flipped instruction into the future with our students to obtain amore complete understanding of its effectiveness. In addition, other outcome variables (besidesexam scores) may be needed to better demonstrate improvements with the flipped classroom orother enhanced pedagogies. This is

By takinga contextual constructivist view, individuals carefully go through factors and examine relatedinformation in decision-making processes.
