project or are working on internships, the nature of electricity orany other complex concept dictates a measure of applicability. This is based on the fact thatabstract concepts are better learned when there is another concept to which it can be compared.In this study it was found that complex concepts and the manner in which they were taught wasmostly conceptual with very little to no real life application. The manner in which students areexposed to the concept of electricity in the classroom does not match the actual workingenvironment they will be operating in. Consequently, engineering learning environments shoulddo a better job of preparing students for the workforce and as such there is a need to includemore application type activities. In

and time from the instructor to setup a flipped course, but once set-up correctly bothinstructors and students will start to see significant benefits. We recommend that instructors startby consulting the research literature and discussing strategies with early adopters within theirinstitution. Another potential pitfall is that the flipped format may not be ideal for all engineeringcourses. For example, advanced courses that are either project-based or research-based may notbe suitable candidates for complete inversion, but may fit into other BL course deliverymodalities.6. Creating Awareness of Blended Learning at Institution-levelAn important first step towards institutionalizing BL strategies is exploration and awareness,where individual

minutes long and unedited. Ideally, the lectures would be edited to 5-10 minutesegments and cover concept introduction, example problem application, and lab segment.The lab part was where students expressed major discontent. The biggest complaint about the labwas the modules being “too straightforward.” This suggested student expectations for the labwere set higher now that they felt more confident about their conceptual understanding. This wassomewhat alleviated with the introduction of the Digilent kit in the homework. However, for theimplementation to be meaningful, it may be necessary to incorporate the Digilent kit into the in-class activities, rather than assign a project as homework

Successful first year course reforms range from a one-credit,voluntary introduction to engineering course at the University of Florida6 to fully integrated first-year block curricula, such as Drexel’s E4 program7, the IMPULSE program at Massachusetts-Dartmouth8, the Engage program at Tennessee9, and the NSF-sponsored Engineering EducationCoalition program10. Many ECE programs have adopted separate courses/modules that includemore hands-on and project experiences for freshmen to enhance the learning experience. Whilethese efforts have been successful at improving first year retention rates, they have notsignificantly addressed the long-term graduation rates or attrition from

For example, you can consider: textbooks, web-based simulation, lecture and discussion, projects, and problem practice.To determine the relationship between student perception and performance, we used studentresponses for question #1 to compute a perception score (p-score). Representative responsesranged from “difficult because hard to visualize” to “no it is just formula based.” Mostrespondents mentioned that it had been a long while since they last encountered electric circuitconcepts or problems. We assigned p-score=0 for responses such “yes it is difficult …”, p-score=1 for responses like “it is somewhat difficult

target their laboratory experiences to take advantage of thenewest technologies and expose students to the tools and methods employed by practicingengineers, while emphasizing fundamental concepts and principles.Today, university-based educational programs invest heavily in many new tools andtechnologies, often only using them in more advanced or project-based courses. Faculty and staffcontribute large amounts of time preparing new course materials that students need to learn thesenew tools. Because new tools are often far too expensive and complex for use outside of thelaboratory, the vast majority of programs provide only limited access to these technologies in theform of two or three hour weekly lab sessions, constraining the amount of time

A key, underlying goal of this project was to gain an understanding of how efficiently andeffectively students learn in hybrid course environments relative to those that are moretraditional. This outcome was evaluated by comparing scores on common exams. Another goalwas to accommodate a wider diversity of learning styles by offering students a choice betweentwo, very different course formats − based on the premise that being required to make a choiceforces students to think about how they learn and the environment in which they learn best
