the pitfalls of the flipped classroom method arehighlighted, and the importance of proper instructional design is emphasized.1. IntroductionThe basic premise of the flipped class room instructional method, often called the invertedclassroom, is that online instruction at home frees class time for learning. In this pedagogicalmodel, asynchronously delivered online video lectures take the place of direct-live instruction.Custom videos can be created by the course instructor or can be chosen from the increasinglylarge inventory of online content, such as those provided via Kahn Academy1. Class timepreviously reserved for “chalk and talk” lectures is instead spent directly interacting withstudents, performing activities that are not easily

Infact, this form of engineering technology has been implemented into phone applications, e.g.SoundHound, to in order to identify popular music. Since music can be analyzed as a timedomain signal, it provides a natural medium for exploring time domain signal analysis12. Otherresearch has used music as inspiration for improving engineering control systems13. One of themost appealing aspects of integrating music and engineering education is the direct analogiesbetween concepts, examples of which are offered in Table 1. These analogies can serve to eitherapply knowledge of music to better understand engineering, or vice versa

development of engineers is critical to ensure proper skills,procedures, and knowledge are learned to facilitate safe, efficient, and environmentally-friendlyoperations with minimal unplanned downtime.1 One way to address effective professionaldevelopment design is through attention to learner preferences. Research has shown thatengineering students have different learner preferences compared to the general population.2However, in an extensive review of available literature, no studies were found reporting on thelearner preferences of working engineers. Thus, it appeared that while much research discussedeffectively educating engineering university students, very little is available in the literature onthe continuing education of working engineers
