Bucknell University’s professionalliterary arts center. Its mission is to foster in a wide and varied audience an appreciation for thediversity and richness of contemporary American poetry, and to provide support for professionalwriters. The Stadler Center’s programs include, among other offerings, an annual series ofreadings by visiting poets and writers, fellowships and residencies for emerging and establishedauthors, and a nationally circulated literary journal. The Center also serves as the seat of theEnglish Department’s Creative Writing program. Like many such university-based arts centers,the Stadler Center serves both an on-campus and an off-campus constituency, bridging the dividebetween the university and the wider literary culture. Its

This paperaims to investigate student perspectives on various components of the course. In particular, thefollowing research questions will be addressed. 1. Are students prepared to take a flipped course? 2. What are student perspectives on a flipped transportation engineering course?Course DescriptionCE 355: Principles of Transportation

In Engineering 82, students in the inverted section completed specified problemsduring class meeting time (and turned them in at the end of class) and turned others in ashomework. In Math 45, students in the inverted section used in-class time to work on anyproblems from the homework assignment and turned in all of their work as homework. As a
