His team also assisted in the deployment of 84 TACMAV systems in 2005. Around that time he volunteered as a science advisor and worked at the Rapid Equipping Force during the summer of 2005 where he was exposed to a number of unmanned systems technologies. His initial group composed of about 6 S&T grew to nearly 30 between 2003 and 2010 as he transitioned from a Branch head to an acting Division Chief.

literature, PDI deviates from current collaborativelearning approaches in one notable way: the authority in the classroom shifts from the facultymember(s) to Student Instructors (SI). These Student Instructors are students that previouslycompleted the course and returned to take on the responsibility for the design and delivery oflearning experiences in the classroom. Faculty, therefore, assume a coaching role with the SIsand no longer act as the source of knowledge, educational material, and content delivery for thecourse.This research paper delves into the impact that this learning experience has on studentmotivation.

This semester theclass was taught in traditional way but the videos recorded served as the backbone of this flippedclassroom implementation. They contained the lectures in which the concepts were introduced aswell as the solutions to some sample problems, but they also contained the class discussionsrecorded live during the Fall 2014 class. Nevertheless, during the subsequent semesters, whenthe flipped classroom approach was implemented, the students were asked to watch the recordedlectures before coming to the class. Throughout the 4 semesters considered in this study theinstructor made syllabus changes to ensure that the students are watching the recorded lectures asrequired. Some

were interested inhelping the campers afraid of swimming to get into the pool and enjoy without necessarilyhaving to swim. As a solution for their problem statement, they designed an underwater domewith a slide used to enter it from the top of the pool.Team 26 “sailor scouts” and team 36 “white tigers” had similar interests. Figure 3 shows theirprototypes. They brainstormed to find solutions to get from one station to another without havingto walk. Team 26 made an inflatable trampoline cart with rails that would be pulled by theirteam leader, while team 36’s cart would be driven by motors and power. Team 26 also addedrails for safety of the passengers; they also made the cart soft so it would go through narrowspaces, and made it inflatable so
