which is a major, but littlerecognized, challenge for engineering education. The use of computer assisted learning toprovide the required knowledge is already being promoted as an alternative. Clearly, thereis no need for a lecture if the same material is available by alternative methods and can beat a time and paced to suit an individual. Considering the effectiveness of such onlinelearning as the only metric, as educators are wont to do, is foolish. What will increasinglydrive adoption of automated learning platforms at all but the most elite institutions iseffectiveness vs. cost [26]. If there is no need for lectures, and laboratory work can besimulated, what is the purpose of a university other than as an aid to social mobility? Auniversity

Course curriculum includes laboratory measurements,interpretation of lab data for engineering applications, flash calculations with k-values andequation of state and an introduction to fluid property software. CSR had previously not beentaught in the course, as it focused on the technical curriculum. In Fall 2016, CSR was introducedto the class through one assignment in which students watched a video about Chevron’s AlderGas Field Project and answered questions about Chevron’s Health, Safety, Security

ConclusionThe amount of formative feedback provided by students as they reflected on their flippedlearning experience has provided formative data for the professors as they work to improve theECE1250 class as well as provided students with deeper insights into their own learningprocesses that helped them in this class and which they can take forward with them into futurecourses.

With practice, freshmen become more comfortable with the modeling process [3].They understand the value of solving challenging, open-ended problems with multiple potentialsolutions.
