In the same vein, combining interactivity withtextbooks has begun to create big data in the engineering classroom.Student-centered teaching techniques are commonly called active learning [3-8]. This type ofpedagogy focuses on students learning by doing in many cases. Despite the large body of evidencesupporting these best practices of teaching, adoption is not the norm.

The techniques chosen to address these needs include a significant increase in team-based,project-based learning, increased design content, generating more active learning throughimmediate application, and a conscious use of the building environment as a teaching tool.

When these lists of anonymous responses arecomplete, a copy of each one is sent via a separate e-mail message to the course instructors,teaching associates, and any other faculty or staff with a need-to-know. In this way, all studentscan each submit a single response, and each instructor receives only the responses from studentsin his or her course(s), sorted by section.
