gender ratio and group size on both female and male-identifyingstudents is crucial for creating an optimal learning environment for the entire class. AtBinghamton University, only about 26% of undergraduate engineering students identify aswomen, highlighting the need for this research.In a 2020 article in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning, Al Mulhimet al. extensively explored how group size directly impacts student success in projects and finalgrades. The study compared large groups (7-8 people) and smaller groups (3-4 people), findingthat students generally perceived larger groups more positively and tended to perform better.However, the paper emphasizes that other underlying factors contribute to the success

Related WorkContemporary education has been changing, and many engineering disciplines have embracedflipped classroom method of teaching[4]. Salas-Rueda et al. [5] performed a quantitative analysisof students’ perception using machine learning methods for the flipped class with course contentsimilar to ours. The students performed pre-class preparation, in-class activities using designtools, and a lab activity after the class. Students’ perception was positive regarding the use of theflipped method and technology. In contrast to our work, the study is based on only one semester.Londgren et al.[6] presented
