solving, and 3) to provide students with a strongerbackground in dynamics for follow-on courses.Course CohortsAs part of a California State University graduation rate initiative, in the past we were able tooffer the special section of the course three different times. Because of the lower number ofstudents enrolled in these sections, it takes additional resources and we are considering if weshould offer it again. All offerings were presented in a flipped format, with numerous exampleproblems and lecture material offered in short videos for students to watch before class. The firstoffering was in Spring of 2019 – the winter quarter provides our largest number of students,typically 13-15 sections of approximately 32 students each. This first

Per the class survey, 88.24% 7of students agreed that the class design projects significantly facilitated them to have a betterunderstanding of mechanical vibration theory. 94.22% of students agreed that the class designprojects helped them to establish the connection between mechanical vibration theory and itsapplications. 82.35% of students agreed that the class design projects should be kept for themechanical vibration course in the future.6.
