in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Design Thinking Process.The first step in our design thinking process is empathetic understanding and ethicalconsideration of the human problem being undertaken. Empathy is the process whereby thedesigner understands the needs, experiences, and motivations of the person(s) they are designingfor (end users) and the stakeholders. Both emotional and cognitive empathy play a role in thisstep. Empathy can be achieved by various actions and activities. This includes observation,immersion, direct interaction with the end- users and stakeholders, reading, and storytelling [38]- [42]. Through this the designer develops a deeper understanding of the people and issuesinvolved. Ethical
author failed to state it, deepened their conceptual understanding. In terms of Brown, et. al.’s[5] distinction between rule learners and example learners, these students appeared to be examplelearners relative to example problems, but rule learners with other activities.Learning problem solution strategies and not basic concepts from example problems is notsurprising at all. Example problems are placed in textbooks with the intent of teaching solutionstrategies. However, some students focus primarily on the example problems as an instrumentalmeans of doing homework problems. This practice, of course, places the student’s learning ofconcepts at a disadvantage.Changing study habitsAt the end of the semester the students completed a final journal

The government defines themethods to assess the effectiveness of teachers and recommends the use of testing andassessment to determine student success. The government also provides the funding that allowsresearch and review of these educational activities (Education Research & Data Center, 2012). Many government programs are helpful in implementing reform to education in the USA.The Race to the Top is an example of one of these programs. This program advances new waysto educate students through a personalized approach (U. S. Department of Education, March 25,2016).

Besidesengaging the students, the assignments allowed the instructor to directly assess students’learning of the concepts from the theory lectures. The students found the assignmentsinteresting and were more engaged to the topic as those ergonomic examples relate totheir daily life. The enthusiasm and interests of the students in those exercises werereflected in the course evaluation as well. It can be concluded that the exercises engagedstudents more intensively in the course and helped them to understand the applications ofergonomics.

all post-assessmentresults must be compared relative to a non-flipped method. It has been determined that the nextcourse offering for this course will utilize active learning but the flipped classroom techniquewill not be used. The instructor hopes to gather the missing data at that time for comparison. In addition to baseline knowledge comparison, a simple review of daily assignments andexams seems to indicate lower student grades than typically seen by the instructor (averages inthe 70’s%). This could have been attributed to other changes such as the introduction of an e-book, whereas a traditional text version was used prior to the semester when the flipped approachwas used. General confusion appeared to result for many students as
torched for thesoldering process (Fig. 8). Upon construction, the trusses are loaded into a compressive test untilfailure. A post-destructive analysis is performed to determine the cause of failure (joint ormember failure), a comparison of actual and predicted loads, and if the predicted failingmember(s) was the first to fail.The primary requirements for the truss design was to span 14 inches, with 0.5 inches of supportat each end, support a theoretical minimum load of 325 lbs., and use no more than 84 linearinches of brass. The metrics of performance are: The predicted max load was compared to actualtesting max load, to depict the discrepancy between theory and practiced based on factors such ascraftsmanship, joint methods, etc.; the overall
submission’s time. Note that this time may be anunderestimate, as the time doesn’t include the time the student spent reading the instructions anddeveloping the first submission. If two successive submissions are separated by at least 10minutes, we assume the student was perhaps taking a break (this is not a perfect measure but thebest we can do as we cannot directly observe the student), and thus we exclude that time fromthe total time. For every student (two are shown in Figure 2), such total time is computed. Wethen compute the average of the shortest 20% of such times to yield the baseline time. The sameapproach is done for the number of attempts per student. Figure 2: Definition of struggle rate for a particular CA.Figure 2’s

The team had designed a commonhardware platform for laboratory modules at an affordable price to learners, which reflects theconcepts of active learning. Thus, learners are motivated to engage in the activities andexperiments because they can follow the instructional steps well and maintain interest.References1. S. Hsiung and F.

Wenger et al.’s,model of Community of Practice was implemented as to encourage the sustainability ofinnovation central to Coburn’s model [6]. Briefly, Rogers outlines a model of personal adoption of innovation which includes fiveaspects. First is knowledge or awareness where there is exposure to innovation. In our facultydevelopment program, this occurs during the workshops. Secondly, to adopt innovation, onemust exhibit a growing interest. Next, the individual must either accept or reject the innovationfollowed by the implementation or trial phase where the innovation is tested.
