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.
