for on-campus students: No significantdifferences have been noted in exit surveys before and after the change in lecture format. Only 2of the more than 225 students enrolled in the second circuits lab course suggested in the exitsurveys that physical lectures be re-instituted. This is not surprising as most students havealready completed the first LiaB- based lab course, a traditional in-class electronics course inwhich PSpice is used extensively, and an introductory course in computer engineering in whichthey are assigned five hands-on projects that are also completed outside of a classroom. The onlystudents who may be at a disadvantage are transfer students. However, these students generallytake the second circuits lab course during their

The increase in the use of mobile devices among students adds another novel dimensionto course design and delivery. Furthermore, the traditional textbooks are being replaced andsupplemented by inexpensive and mobile e-books, and hence there is an opportunity to integratethe multimedia and mobile technologies in an e-learning environment.

This aspect of our project focused on structure-propertyrelationships in pH sensitive hydrogels for oral insulin delivery. In upcoming work, drug releaseproperties will be evaluated as a function of crosslink density and monomer concentration aswell as a complete tensile data collection. Through this hands-on activity, students will not onlydevelop skills specific to drug delivery and

The next phasesof the project will focus on the characterization of the polymer and study of drug release fromthe polymer. This experiments being developed will be used in a materials science class tointroduce students to polymer synthesis, analysis, and characterization for drug deliveryapplications.  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation ECC0540855 under grant numberECC0540855.

: homework completed after the due date butbefore the end of the module would earn 75% credit; homework completed after the module butbefore the end of the semester would earn 50% credit. The basis for this policy is that justbecause a student did not complete the homework on time does not mean the material is notimportant, and if they are able to eventually master the material, some credit will awarded.Schilling (2010) suggested that a bonus be given for early homework completion. The analogywas made to a construction project, where there are late penalties, but also bonuses for earlycompletion. Following this suggestion, a 10% bonus for homework completed more than 24hours before the due date was implemented halfway through the 2010 fall semester

As partof a three-year NSF-funded study, the project team implemented adaptive learning in a flippednumerical methods course for pre-class preparation, using multiple previous semesters of flippedclassroom data as the benchmark. Assessment data from 330 students was collected at threediverse engineering schools using a final exam (i.e., for direct knowledge assessment) and theCollege and University Classroom Environment Inventory (CUCEI) for student perspectives.Although some differences in the direct assessment measures with the use of the adaptive lessonswere seen based on the particular school, the overall effects of the adaptive lessons
