organization. Within thewriting pedagogy community, the advantages and disadvantages of explicit instruction have longbeen debated, with critics of direct instruction arguing that it "prevent[s] our students fromenacting what they know tacitly."14 However, in our experience, few students have any tacitknowledge of engineering workplace genres. If they are given an assignment that asks for anunfamiliar document type – such as a technical memorandum or a cover letter – they typicallysearch the internet for something with the same name. Rather than leaving them to search ontheir own, we believe it is appropriate for engineering courses to teach students about industrystandards for documents, just as it is appropriate to teach about standards for

the need for student accountabilitymeasures to be part of the flipped classroom design. Students and faculty are used to that modelof instruction and there is evidence that a more behaviorist approach to the online content is acomponent of the flipped classroom model.4 More research and development of the flippedclassroom model is needed to determine the most effective methods and theoretical framework(s)from which to best design and implement the flipped classroom instructional model in highereducation.Conclusion It is clear that the flipped classroom instructional model is being used in engineeringgraphics education at the university level. The extent of its use and how the model isoperationalized across the field is not clear. This
in some of these gaps.Overall, the flipped classroom approach is an effective way to free up lecture time for students topractice course material and to have more time to ask questions. The added practice has in thisinstance lead to higher average test scores.ReferencesHe, S., & Zhang, Y., & Shen, F.

. These projects create opportunity to save thecompany significant costs and improve profitability. For those students who cannot getthe problem from their company, the instructors can help find the external sponsors. Inthe event external sponsors are not available, the students will be working on their owntopic of interest. However, such topics have to be approved by the advising faculty beforestudents begin the work. During residency week, on day 1 (Monday), in the morning, the students will begin thesession by learning the business research process. In this session, they learn how they cantranslate a management dilemma to an executable research question(s). The afternoonsession covers literature review and referencing styles. Since many

The idea behind the case study was that students willgain an understanding of why the structure failed through a reverse engineering process, and thendetermine the best way to improve it.

ConclusionTo meet national workforce need, we developed different computational modeling modules andtaught the modules in two undergraduate materials science and engineering course, includingStructure of Materials course and Thermodynamics course. Students studied the computationalmodeling theory outside of the class. In the class, the instructor focused on hands-on practice.The module s covered various materials structure and thermodynamic topics, such as atom andbonding simulations, point defect formation energy calculations and diffusion simulations,chemical reaction simulations, Gibbs free energy equilibrium calculations, and phase separationsimulations. Student feedback was collected in consideration of the module
