In 2014, we were fortunate enoughto have a highly contested, well covered mayoral race in which transportation and urbanplanning issues were extremely prominent.

His conclusion was that the armature-controlled dc motor performed betterthan the field-controlled dc motor, and he was able to demonstrate strong closed-loop systemperformance. Since there were no plans to establish a full controls lab for the entire classes,simulations using Matlab were required for the course. Initially, the project was restricted to thisone controls application and soon thereafter expanded to five or six possible applicationsdescribed in brief paragraphs.

Being relatively new to programming on Arduino and with the concept ofcontrol and signal processing, the student started the experience by tackling multiple easyindividual tasks in order to get more familiar with the material involved in this mechatronicproject.

Course enrollment also increased by 60% in fall 2014,from 13 to 21 students. Favorable teaching evaluations and comments from fall 2013 encouragedeven more classroom interaction, which led us to the “flipping” model. The fall 2014 course hasbeen evaluated with a new Teaching Survey, supplemented with custom questions about theflipped classroom. We further evaluated this flipped classroom for the degree of instructor-supported active learning and problem solving and student interaction, and for impact on studentfinal exam performance.
