When the students were stumped,they could ask questions and receive help from the staff.The course material was divided into seventeen units. Each unit summarized the key concepts,background math and methods required to solve the problems, and about ten to fifteen physicsproblems to solve. Often reading assignments were also included on these units in addition to beingposted on the course website.Students were free to work through the unit(s) at their own pace and solve as many problems as theyfelt necessary. There was no requirement of completing these for a grade like the LRE. When astudent felt prepared to demonstrate

the need for student accountabilitymeasures to be part of the flipped classroom design. Students and faculty are used to that modelof instruction and there is evidence that a more behaviorist approach to the online content is acomponent of the flipped classroom model.4 More research and development of the flippedclassroom model is needed to determine the most effective methods and theoretical framework(s)from which to best design and implement the flipped classroom instructional model in highereducation.Conclusion It is clear that the flipped classroom instructional model is being used in engineeringgraphics education at the university level. The extent of its use and how the model isoperationalized across the field is not clear. This

. We examined the large decline learning questions carefully and noticed that these questions were all bad questions. For example, the first question in Figure 5 was presented as one of the large declines in earnestness. We identified the question that students did not know how to answer. Students first showed the answer and were then able to effectively answer the subsequent question(s) without showing the answer. Questions where all three college classifications showed large declines were easily identified as bad questions. Fig. 5. Example: Learning question 1 had a low earnestness, whereas question 2 had a high earnestness. Likely, students were unsure how to answer the question, indicating

Students gained valuable transferable skills while workingon this project including creative thinking, audience awareness, teamwork, technical writing,visual design, and communication. The authors of this paper, who include the students thatworked on the project, aim to promote and encourage the idea of undergraduate students activelyengaging and creating STEM programs and initiatives for K-12.IntroductionThe idea of STEM education has been around since the early 1900’s. Originally called, SMET(science, mathematics, engineering, and technology), educators focused on instructing studentsin skills that would benefit their future societies[1]. The idea of enriching these fields by creatingstudents well versed in them quickly
process was adjusted to put a stronger emphasis on motivation issues and technicalbackground of candidates. The biggest limitation of the analysis conducted is the small number of observations. Currently, in splitting afew hundred students according to certain aspects, we get buckets of only a few dozen people. At this rate, a fewoutliers in a bucket might create a visible anomaly. We hope to get a statistically significant amount of data bymonitoring students performance and admission metrics over the course of 2-3 years.References[1] T.

on themusical bridges and seemed to be more engaged in the project than students in previous years.And females, in particular, seemed to prefer the musical bridges over a more traditional bridgeproject. The author plans to continue to use some variation on the musical bridge project forfuture solid mechanics courses. Questions, however, remain: did students find the musical aspectof the project more engaging or would another type of interdisciplinary project be just asengaging? Did the musical bridge project result is improved learning? Were students morecreative? Did their critical thinking skills improve? Future projects will attempt to explore thesequestions and more.ReferencesBarnard, S., Hassan, T., Bagilhole, B., Dainty. A. (2012
