Figure 1 displays the exponential growth of utility scale solar generationsince 2001. In 2014, renewable energy generation made up 13.2 percent of total generation. Thelargest three contributors were hydro (6.3 percent), wind (4.4 percent), and biomass (1.6percent), followed by solar (0.4 percent). On the other hand, electrical energy production fromfossil fuel sources coal has still the largest share of 38.6% which is followed by natural gas witha share of 27.5% 3. Figure 1.

Broadly, this approach isunderstood to mean swapping the traditionally in-class lecture with the out-of class activities likeproblem solving and projects. Generally this means students are assigned some form of online orvideo lectures to watch at home, opening up class time for a variety of active and/orcollaborative learning experiences.Despite the fact that the term “flipped classroom” has been around for some years, severalsurveys of the literature conclude that there is a need for further research in this area.1-3 This isdue in part to the fact that instructor implementation of this educational model varies widely,meaning there is not one

IntroductionThe 2012 President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) report, “Engageto Excel” indicates that the United States needs to produce one million additional STEMprofessionals in the next decade in order to retain its historical preeminence in science andtechnology. To meet this need, the number of undergraduate STEM degrees will have to increaseby about 34 percent annually over the current rates. The PCAST report proposes that addressingthe retention problem in the first two years of college is the most promising and cost-effectivestrategy to address this need1.

Based ona free-body diagram, the system differential equation is expressed in (1). Using LaplaceTransform, this time-domain equation leads to a position-to-external force transfer functiongiven by equation (2). Once the transfer function is derived, a set of parameter values (m = 0.1kg, b = 1 N*s/m and k = 2 N/m) is used to obtain the system transfer function shown in (3

Design educators, however, would not gainenough value from performing such studies on students in their classes to warrant the intenseamount of time required; educators need more efficient means to assess learning. Hence, thepurpose of this study is to evaluate two streamlined approaches – each taking no more than 10minutes of class time (for the whole class) and 1 minute of coding per response – with respect totheir effectiveness in measuring procedural knowledge. While each approach aims to assessprocedural knowledge, they both do so by asking students to declare their
