Several of the key best practices are summarized below: • Utilization of common platforms when appropriate. A single mobile measurement platform is to be used throughout the curriculum in order to minimize costs for students and avoid requiring students to constantly learn new hardware platforms. • Utilization of a flipped lab environment as appropriate. With a mobile studio platform, the weekly lab is envisioned to serve as an open meeting where students can work on their experiments, ask questions, and demonstrate performance, but is no longer the sole work time for building and testing their projects.

This is not a minor project,as the work of a wide community of scholars in engineering education can attest (see, forexample, [1] [2] [3]). We find that recent scholarship in Environmental Humanities and Scienceand Technology Studies (STS) offers conceptual tools to help us develop such curricula.

The keyword is "central" - theteachers play a prominent role but mainly in the background. On behalf of an instructor, it takesmore organization, effort, and resources in a flipped classroom than in a traditional lecture-basedclassroom. Lastly, the popular myth is that students learn by themselves.
