The hybrid approach hasresulted in increases in student-led learning [17], enhancements in student achievement,motivation and satisfaction [18, 19] and increases in student enrollment [20]. Research hasindicated that students’ perceptions and attitudes about the hybrid approach compared to face-to-face learning, are favorable and acceptable for the discipline of environmental engineering [21].However, the same study was not able to statistically prove that the hybrid option improved thequality of teaching and learning [21].The current project combined traditional face-to-face lecturing with voluntary on-line tutorials(short PowerPoint videos).

asengineering, defined as accountable disciplinary knowledge (ADK) [6], change over the courseof an undergraduate education and entry into an engineering profession. In the first years of anundergraduate engineering degree program, introductory classes often focus on textbookproblems, larger lectures, and individual written exams. The ability to produce specificnumerical results to written problems is therefore ADK. In later years, ADK increasingly shiftstowards teamwork, communication skills, research, and collection and analysis of data. Coursesbecome more project-based and assignments have longer timelines with more open-endedsolutions. For students this shift in ADK can be a source of frustration or anxiety, as theyexperience a misalignment between

And the more flexible and accepting a professor is of minor things, the more it makes students feel welcomed and excited about a class and also willing to approach the professor with academic, career, or even life questions.An instructor with a harsh response to a late student often alienates other students by projecting anunwelcoming attitude toward students.Some students commented on habitual tardiness.

isrequired from the students during the activities. This section has four subscales, described asfollows:1. Interactive instruction: An activity must involve the collective construction of knowledge; students' interactions create that construction. The items for this subscale include group activities performed during class, such as solving problems, hands-on activities, and group discussions; or outside the classroom, such as completing homework, working on a project, and studying outside of class.2. Constructive instruction: Promotes behaviors in "which learners generate or produce additional externalized outputs or products beyond what was provided in the learning material" [15].

In some respects, Architectural Engineering may be viewedas a specialized subset of Civil Engineering. The average number of Architectural Engineersgraduating from K-State and KU total 75 graduates per year. These graduates are likely to meetsome of the demand for Civil Engineers in Kansas for the appropriate types of projects. AlthoughKBOR concludes that the supply of Civil Engineers does not meet demand, perhaps the gap is notthat large. In terms of Electrical Engineering, there is a gap that is moderate or large depending onwhich demand estimate is assumed. Finally, there appears to be a sizeable gap where

He notesthat the effectiveness of any given intervention is highly dependent on the appropriate implementationof that technique. As a result, Burkhardt concludes that there is a need for high-quality assessment ofintervention techniques.

This outcome was evaluated by comparing scores on common exams. Another goalwas to accommodate a wider diversity of learning styles by offering students a choice betweentwo, very different course formats − based on the premise that being required to make a choiceforces students to think about how they learn and the environment in which they learn best
