The theoretical result and the result fromct_conv overlap. f1(t) is the impulse response of a series RC circuit with a time constant of 1 s(the output is the voltage across the capacitor). The same result can be obtained from circuitsimulation software. Having the students obtain the result from circuit simulation helps toremind them that convolution provides useful results in the real world. The result from a circuitsimulation program (LTSpice4) is shown in Figure 7.

As a social cognitive theory, CAT positsthat students learn from experts by observation, imitation, and modeling. The instructor(s) serveas coaches to bring tacit processes out in the open. In flipping the course described herein,students spent more time actively observing and learning from the instructor than was possible inthe traditional lecture format. Coaching was more targeted and problem solving became anexploration where strategies were learned, reflection was built in with student peers workingtogether, and informed inquiry prior to coming to class enabled scaffolding.Structure of the Flipped CourseDuring the flipped portion of the

engineers in the workplaces remains relatively low. There has been a significantimprovement compared to the 1980's, during which only about 5.8% of engineers were woman,but the numbers remain relatively low with female engineers only making up about 14% of theengineering workforce within the United States. Suggested reasons for this phenomena includelack of female role models and young women having fewer technological problem solvingopportunities throughout K-12 than when compared to their male counterparts13.To attempt to combat the lack of female engineering students within an Engineering Technologydepartment at a University of Louisiana, the department developed a “Girls Who Draft”program, which is partially motivated by the Girls Who Code

Also, for this semester the number ofin class quizzes was further reduced, with 4 quizzes for statics and 2 for dynamics. Also thestatics exam was given over 2 class periods, as a common time for both sections of students wasnot available due to the students’ schedules.

Subject areas that are typically covered in the 2000 level course are Thermodynamics,Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Statics, Dynamics, Materials, Mechanics of Materials,Engineering Economics, and Machine Design. For these reasons, we believe that the changesassociated with preparation for the 2015/2016 year affected the pass rate, and not the quality ofour students.Table 1: Overall pass rates of the Sophomore Assessment exam for the past four years.

The resultant process flow may very well be apermutation with inefficiencies and additional costs if cultural and emotional considerationsmaterialize.While the above discussion provides meaningful insight into defining distance education as aprocess, and provides a methodology to do so, an area for further research would be to surveyseveral comparable universities to determine their peer organizational structures andsubsequently validate the methodology proposed above.References1 Bozkurt, A., Akgun-Ozbec, E., Yilmazel, S., et al.
