intheir curriculum, since many of the major issues the nation will face in the future (energy,environmental, infrastructure, etc) will “require the technical expertise and savvy problemsolving of the engineering mind.”[9] While this experiment was used in a mechanical Page 24.620.20engineering course, it can just as easily be applied to any STEM discipline course. For these non-engineering students, we conclude that flipped classrooms are a viableoption when compared to traditional lecture based methods of instruction. All-in-all, non-engineers increased their knowledge of engineering and their confidence in their ability toformulate and
