PhET Buoyancy Online Simulation Laboratory ExerciseAn object is subject to the buoyant force whenever it is floating on or is completely submerged inthe fluid. Buoyancy is the tendency of a stationary fluid to exert a supporting force on a bodyplaced in the fluid [2]. Based on the authors’ teaching experiences, many MET students havedifficulties to solve buoyancy related problems

teach programming in a lecture hall, it is also difficult for students to learn in thisenvironment since programing requires hands-on (trial and error) learning that doesn’t occur alecture setting. Second, the higher level architectural features of microprocessors can beoverlooked if too much effort is made to accomplish specific tasks in the laboratory setting.ImplementationOne possible approach to address the shortcomings of these classes would be to “flip” theclassroom by having the lecture material presented online, allowing students to spend more timein the laboratory experimenting with microcontrollers. This approach can be too software heavyin content and the students might have a tendency to take on a “hacker” approach by looking upcode

flipped. Videos and other online materials were made forthese lectures. Lectures notes, homework assignments, and laboratory materials were developedto support the flipped classroom effort. Virtual help sessions on eCampus using BlackboardCollaborate Ultra were created to help students learn the material. Based on the results in thetwo-year period, it will be determined how much of the lectures will be flipped. Challenges andlessons learned during the first semester are discussed, these include: What if students do notspend time prepare for the flipped class? What if it takes longer time to cover the materials usingthe flipped classroom approach? Is there an impact on the faculty teaching load or the actual timethey spend in teaching the course

It is a 3-credit and 4-contact hour course. The courseconsists of a lecture component and a laboratory component. In the lecture component, theinstructor introduces the class materials to the students. The students will then practice theirCADD skills in the laboratory component. The course teaches students technical drawings, 2Dcomputer aided drafting, and 3D modeling. These topics are closely related. The course isessential for

This gap was addressed in this course.In summary, this designed course designed was to cover the four key segments ofcomputer vision systems, i.e. a) image acquisition, b) image processing, c) imageanalysis, and d) image understanding (pattern recognition). Table 1 illustrates thefour learning objectives of the course and their associated Bloom’s taxonomy. Toachieve these learning objectives, active teaching and learning techniques alongwith modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities were used.In addition to the assignments, and

Mentor responsibilities included visiting classes and givingfeedback on teaching, ensuring new faculty members became familiar with equipment and com-fortable in laboratory facilities, and helping them to understand and navigate departmental anduniversity policies. It certainly was not a perfect system, and not all of the new members of thefaculty wanted close guidance and feedback, but for the majority that did it worked out well. Oneother thing that helped new members of the faculty integrate into the department and universitywas participation in an active-learning workshop just before new faculty orientation.
