Together, we employed an unconference (also known as an Open SpaceTechnology workshop) as a research method in order to elevate the voices of
from engaging students with multiple representations.Learning problems with other mathematical models also can be investigated in the future. Themultiple representation method advocated in this paper may not always work in every learningenvironment; it worked for a diverse group of students in National University, because the learningenvironment was designed to be inclusive. Students should feel that they belong to theenvironment. Students should quickly believe that their teachers care about them and theirlearning.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: The author is thankful to the anonymous 2019 ASEE-SWconference reviewers for their comments and suggestions made during the review process.Thanks also to John Cicero, Jodi Reeves, Ronald P.

Engineering Education, 2019 Call it what you want: Blending project-based learning and the flipped classroom model in a Civil Engineering courseAbstractBoth project-based learning and flipping the classroom have gained recent popularity inengineering education. These techniques change the classroom environment by placing theresponsibility for learning on the students. Through a change in the traditional lecture model,students develop a higher investment in their work and have more agency in the learning process.For this study, a senior level civil engineering class structured around the project-based learningformat and focused on geotechnical foundation design was changed from a traditional lecturedelivery format to a flipped
