Technical communication skills were additionally addressed through the preparationand delivery of oral presentations and through the technical writing of precise problemdefinitions and poster presentations. Students were introduced to fundamentals of CAD modelingand technical drawing along with basic fabrication skills, including 3D printing, and the safe useof band saws, drill presses, and other fabrication hand tools.

This coursetypically has 59-120 sophomore and junior level mechanical engineering students enrolled andhas been taught in a flipped format, using the SCALE-UP model (Beichner, 2008), for severalsemesters. By design, the course relies heavily on peer-to-peer instruction through cooperativelearning, and beginning in the semester of Spring 2016, the instructor aimed to move fromcooperative groups to high performing teams using principles of team-based learning (L. K.Michaelsen, Knight, & Fink, 2002). Three primary research questions were examined: 1) whateffect does the implementation of TBL have on individual student learning, compared to anoffering of the course prior to implementation; 2) what effect does the implementation of

For example, theinstructor of the AST introductory course asked students to write a short reflection on theirparticipation in the mentoring program. The BE introductory course has specific points allocatedbased on participation in the program. In retrospect, some consistency across the courses wouldhave been preferable.
