also necessaryto adequately populate the database.The development team also learned about the availability of assessment instruments for use inthe engineering education community. As shown in Tables A1-A6, information could be locatedfor several attitudinal measures. Many instruments were also easily identified for assessingknowledge, behaviors, and professional skills. Fewer instruments were located for assessing thelearning environment or using institutional data to measure various outcomes. One trend thatoccurred in the early 1990’s and 2000’s was the development of numerous concept inventoriesintended to improve classroom teaching and learning. During this time, the need for valid andreliable measures, and the understanding of reliability

, most of whom were mechanical engineering graduate students.Four undergraduates and several master of engineering students were enrolled in the face-to-facesection. About two-thirds of the on-campus students had completed at least one semester ofundergraduate engineering thermodynamics. The remainder, including most of the onlinestudents, had studied thermodynamics in physics but not engineering. For many of the master ofengineering students, they had not studied thermodynamics for several years and several had notdone well in their undergraduate course(s).The make-up of the student body in the course created an opportunity for traditional graduatestudents who started their graduate level studies directly upon completion of their

The collaboration of thetechnical people in charge of the university network is a key component if any other institutionwants to replicate what we have done. Without their expertise and collaboration it would be verydifficult to build the access network appropriately. We believe that the final evaluation and fine-tuning of the laboratory guidelines will be complete within a year after we gather more data fromour students regarding their experience with the course and laboratory practices.

Somemethods were appropriate for the classroom such as the graphical methods when drafting wasstill taught, but they are more difficult to use today.The method presented here is based on the work of Professor F.D. Ju as presented in his 1971article “On the Constraints for Castigliano’s Theorem” [7] and the notes of one of the authors asa student in Professor Ju’s class in the mid 1980's.

Although the theory and benefits of the flippedclassroom model are discussed, the primary focus of this paper is to present the approach and thepractical implementation of using this model. Advantages, such as student retention and reducedfaculty tutoring, are discussed, as well as disadvantages, such as the investment of time neededfor making the videos and the amount of time needed to learn the software. Lastly, best practicesand lessons from the experience are shared.Background and TheoryIn recent years the concept of the flipped classroom has gained popularity and has been

The weather station provides data year-round and can be stored onthe staff’s computer to be emailed to The Ohio State University or other service teams for futuredevelopment of wind energy. If a 1 kW wind turbine can be successfully constructed andconnected to the electric grid and the average wind speed can reach 5 m/s, this type of turbinecould produce around 1,000 kWh annually. This would equate to $280 in yearly savings, andpossibly allow MdL to have access to some power even when the main power is down. Multiplewind turbines could greatly increase these savings, provided that the first prototype is successful.Future teams can use recorded data to find accurate savings
