This gap may be traced back to several complex issues including perceivedcultural concerns in engineering and young women self-selecting out of engineering career pathsearly in the middle school years [1]. Informal education settings may allow for a countermeasureto the
engineering problem. In the redesigned lab, teams of students arepresented with a design challenge related to that week’s lecture curriculum, supplied withapplicable equipment and technology, and advised to self-design their own experiments andinvestigations. Learning objectives and background information are provided and students haveinstructor support for guidance and direction during their experimentation and analysis. Theredesigned laboratories endeavor to build skills that address the modern needs of the engineeringindustry, self-designed learning and innovation, and aim to increase student comprehension andinterest.BackgroundWith the advent of rapid technological development and the high demand for inventive designskills, the needs of the
Qualitative student feedback fromvarious studies has shown that students find videos to be beneficial to watch but details on watchtimes are scarce.5,7,8 One study of an information technology course at Indiana UniversityPurdue University at Indianapolis found that in a flipped class of 27 people, over half of thestudents reported watching less than 90% of assigned recorded videos.9 The study also found thata majority of the students reported rarely rewatching videos.9 As flipped classrooms becomemore common, it is important to know the extent to which students use faculty-produced videos.This paper explores how students utilize videos and analyzes their watching behavior.First-Year Design CourseIntroduction to Engineering Design (ENGI 120) is a one

To meet these challenges, a variety of courses in the engineering department at SLCC areforgoing traditional classroom structures for either flipped or hybrid classroom structures. Thesedifferent structures are defined as the following: • Traditional Classrooms are such that a professor delivers lecture material, such as theory and examples, and student work on homework assignments outside of class. • Flipped Classrooms implement technology to allow students to access lecture material out- side of the classroom so that in-class time can be

Although the kits were different according totraining session and grade level, it is important to note that EiE workshops emphasize thatalthough the science content may change from one EiE curriculum kit to the next, thephilosophies behind understanding the nature of technology and the engineering design processare consistent across kits. Further, each EiE curriculum kit follows the same structure, whichmakes it easy for teachers to learn one kit and then translate this knowledge to another. Tomaximize shared resources, the purchased kits and refill materials were made available forcheckout at the Interlocal Cooperative so participating teachers could continue
