comments from the mentor, the report is submitted by the student for final grading and the mentorgrades it using rubrics and in accordance with the grading policy described in the syllabus. The finalreports are run through “Turnitin” in order to ensure that the reports are original work of the students.Capstone ProjectA hardware centered capstone project is another important component of this course. Through the firstthree modules, the students work in a team, brainstorm, identify, and analyze significant problems thatdemand electrical engineering technology solutions. During the first week of each module, studentsdevelop and submit individual draft reports of the work carried out and results obtained. Theinstructor/mentor gives feedback

under directsupervision of the instructor. The implementation of this teaching method is comprised of twomain components, the pre-class activities, which consist of individual student work and arelargely based on pre-recorded videos, and in-class activities, which are group activitiessupervised by the instructor. This paper discusses the implementation of the flipped classroommethod in a Fluid Mechanics course in an Engineering Technology program at a midsizeuniversity. The study presented was conducted over four consecutive semesters, the datarepresenting four different groups of students. In the study presented, an important percentage ofthe students took the course in an online setting, either synchronous or asynchronous mode,which created
