The syllabus wasdesigned to incorporate both traditional lab experiments and project milestones such as designbriefs, thermodynamic analysis, and SolidWorks simulations, ensuring a comprehensive PBLexperience.

been improving its ties with area industry through partnerships. In part, theseefforts have been motivated by a desire to expand the university’s ability to offer courses toindustry, its employees, and to other people who are not free to attend class during traditionalclassroom periods. While there are many examples of lecture and discussion-group classes online, one hallmark of an electronics engineering technology program is that laboratory classesaccompany most lecture courses. Though most of our lecture classes can be delivered at adistance, it is not possible to duplicate the hands-on experience of an electronics laboratory overthe Internet. Even so, an on-line electronics engineering technology program must includeconcurrent laboratory

These issues will be discussed in more depthlater in this paper. Regardless of the reasoning however, it is logical to conclude that there is acorrelation between the students’ perceived time commitment and their acceptance of theinverted class format.Lecture VideosRecorded lecture videos are a critical component of the inverted course structure since studentsare required to watch these theory-based lectures online before coming to class to work onproblems that apply this theory.

In thetraditional model of classroom instruction, the teacher is the focus of a lesson and the primarybase of information during the class period. Professors have used the flipped classroom modelfor years. Humanities instructors expect students to read on their own and rarely dedicate anyclass time to covering the basic storyline or narrative. Instead, class time is committed todiscussing themes. Some professors use the Socratic Method in their courses, requiring studentsto study the material before class or face a volley of questions.
