The International Engineering Program8, 9 at the University of Rhode Islandcombines an undergraduate engineering degree with a degree in German, French or Spanish, andalso requires students to complete an internship in a country where the foreign language isspoken.The incorporation of professional skills is not necessarily easy to implement in many engineeringcourses. For courses involving the development of technical skills, there is always the tensionbetween covering the technical material (and providing experience in its application – homeworkand problem solving) and including projects that involve written or oral reports. If reports arerequired, they are typically part of a much larger assignment. The net result is that the

Because it happened several times during theplanning time, this episode can be labeled a response, albeit a possibly unconscious choice, tocoerce her students into her ideal model of planning which might not be useful for this project orfor their style of problem solving. Her insistence during the lesson that planning was achievedby having a sufficient drawing and words on their worksheet ignored the diversity of planninggoing on in her own classroom.If teachers wish to emphasize planning, they need to consider what tools will actually be useful,if not essential, to their students for a

Goals express intended outcomes in general terms andobjectives express them in specific terms2. A learning outcome refers to a statement thatdescribes what the learner is to have achieved and can reasonably and reliably demonstrate bythe end of a teaching activity, course, or program.Measures to assess student learning typically fall into one of two categories: direct or indirect.A direct measure is one that “directly” evaluates student learning3. Direct measures include theuse of actual student work and include items such as an  exam or quiz,  class assignment, project, report, etc.  work-related task,  interaction

While the results from this study areencouraging, this is not sufficient evidence to warrant generalization far beyond that situation.Further, the solution was very specific, rather than being based on established principles to guideadaptation. Thus, additional research is needed to examine the influence of flipped classroominstruction on objective learning outcomes.6 Future Directions for
