In addition to learning research methods byparticipation, this approach incorporates additional topics and broader contemporary topics.2. PurposeThe traditional ergonomics syllabus has focused on the physical requirements of manual laborworkers. While manufacturing and other jobs requiring physical labor remain vital componentsin the workforce, many developed countries have transitioned to a knowledge economy.

Most of the engineering education practitioners use natural sciences and deductivemethods both in their research as well as in their teaching meaning that they need toobserve and present their findings in a logical and bias-free context5, 61, 14. This applies toboth the classroom as well as the laboratory. There is very little, or no space at all, forresearcher-based personal, inductive or intuitive interpretation 36, 61.

The professor,who was experienced teaching the course, had become concerned about the level of learning andperceived lack of engagement on the part of the students. The flipped class method seemed to bea possible solution, since it had given indications of better understanding of course material.5Because this was a senior level class, the professor recognized that when the students graduatedin a few months, they would need to be able to take initiative and have knowledge to apply totheir heat
