It is found that theinstructional setting plays a significant role in flipped classroom learning effectiveness. Flippedclassroom learning setup does not guarantee better learning effectiveness if not set upappropriately in a laboratory setting.

concepts in the measurement laboratory/lecture (ME 335/L) and introduction tomechatronics (ME 435/L), a traditional mechanical engineering course, are interlinked to providestudents with a unified learning experience. As a first step in this direction, ME 335/L was madea prerequisite to ME 435/L, which allowed the students to learn about the fundamental topics inME 335/L, and thus be prepared to tackle more complex topics in ME 435/L course. The ME335/L was redesigned to incorporate more tools, instrumentation, and programs typically used inME 435/L. The key experiments in ME 335/L were tailored to expose students to topicscommonly encountered in ME 435/L. This integrated approach to mechatronics allowed studentsto build a strong fundamental

Also, the program is tailored toengineering research objectives that include elements of innovation and technology development,as opposed to discovery (in the natural sciences). Rather than spending extensive periods in aformal teaching laboratory, the students often spend time in the engineering makerspace and/or inthe research labs of their faculty mentors. Research projects are conducted in small teams,generally 2-4 students per team, and students are expected to spend approximately 5 hours/weekon their research—enough time to make steady progress on their project but not

distanceor online education, there are many challenges to overcome in that space. In Mechanical Engineering, manytraditional courses depend on hands-on laboratories in addition to the face-to-face classes. Some researcherswere able to offer the laboratories as online for appropriate subjects such as control (Duan et al. 2005)however, this might be more challenging in other topics within mechanical engineering. Use of experientiallearning, i.e., projects designed with often low-cost kits for physical activity is also found to be beneficialin an online Mechanics course (Dittenber & Ironside 2017).A major challenge in determining the online course quality is student’s engagement and motivationcompared to the face-to-face courses.

A traditional engineering education will incorporate lectures, a fewproofs, a small number of hands on laboratories that relate to some of the topics being discussed,and are concluded with a capstone course that should serve as the culmination of all othercoursework and demonstrate the ability to follow the engineering design process. However, dueto the low number of retention (around 62 percent for all STEM majors1), and less than 5 percentof the nationally awarded degrees in engineering2, it is possible that the minimum engineeringcurriculum may not be enough to successfully graduate engineers.
