Considering that these are newprograms designed to help address serious problems in Nigeria and Africa more broadly, it isinteresting that there is so little information available. This is in contrast to US programs, whichall have a wealth of information at the department and school websites, and marketing is anemphasis of almost all universities. It is difficult for us to understand how students would obtainenough information about the programs at UI or UNILAG to even apply.

By the time they started their robot project, the studentshave shown varied proficiency on the topics taught.

This gives students an opening to understanding engineering early in theiracademic career and can provide a meaningful touchstone during future engineering coursework. With collaborative, project based design in mind, the University of Notre Damedeveloped a new project for its first-year engineering course sequence. First and foremost, theproject was intended to increase student exposure to design through a hands-on experience. Inaddition, the project was created for the first-semester, where students would be concurrently incalculus and chemistry (physics is not taken until second semester).

In inductive education, an instructor will first introduce problems or case studies tostudents and then introduce and explain theories and tools which can be used to solve the problems.The goal of this education type is to provide meaningful context to students prior to delivering therelated theory which can provide motivation. “You’ll need this for the exam” or “you’ll need thisin your career” may not provide sufficient motivation to engage the students in learning thetheories taught (5).

We are collecting data this semester as well, again for a “fully flipped class.However, in relation to evaluating the impact of the flipped classroom further into the future,perhaps we as an assessment community should begin to place more emphasis on longer-termmeasurement and evaluation after students have completed their undergraduate careers. Thus,perhaps we should be assessing flipped instruction into the future with our students to obtain amore complete understanding of its effectiveness. In addition, other outcome variables (besidesexam scores) may be needed to better demonstrate improvements with the flipped classroom orother enhanced pedagogies. This is
