Student 3 My initial desired was in architecture, but the institution did not offer architecture major. I’m having difficulties in calculus 1, and realized that engineering is probably not the career for me. Will switch from engineering to psychology; everybody tells me I would be a great therapist. Student 4 I like engineering and respect those who can maintain everything, but I cannot continue in this major. I cannot handle a calculus 1 course. Will switch to Russian, which is a major based around my second language. Student 5 I

knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering during class time, thereby increasing their ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. The proposed instructional process leverages advancements in technology combined with programmed problem solving exercises to increase a graduate’s proficiency as an engineer. Key words: flipped classroom, video lectures, self-paced learningIntroduction: In recent years, the concept of “flipping the classroom” has become popular within theeducational community. In this pedagogical methodology, class work is done at home andhomework is done in the class. This resurgence is due in large part to the popularity and successof online instructional videos by Salman Khan, the founder of
andreceiving institution. In this study the core courses are identified as the Basic Program (BP) inengineering. All students must successfully complete the BP with a minimum C average (2.0 ona 4.0 scale) to graduate in engineering. This program consists of two semesters of calculus, onesemester of chemistry, one semester of physics, two semesters of English, and one semester ofengineering fundamentals with computer programming. These courses represent the mostsubstantial barrier to achieving an engineering degree1,2,3.BackgroundRecognizing the importance of increasing graduates in STEM fields, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) has funded the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)Talent Expansion Program (STEP).

Further, among undergraduates,engineering students are even more privileged1.One of the major limitations with the research on social class (and concomitantly socioeconomicdisadvantage and cultural capital), is that while it is often quantitatively measured through an index,qualitatively it remains quite ambiguous. In addition, the qualitative research on social class in highereducation is typically conducted without consideration for the academic field, despite the workindicating that the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields are unique.Unfortunately, the
