Several of these havebeen mentioned previously. One additional positive change is the merging of outcomes (a) and(e) since this shift more closely integrates knowing and acting. Another positive shift is theinclusion of language on codes and standards in the preamble. This has the opportunity toengage students into a larger community and consider how personal relations can be extended tothose we do not directly interact with.

(This can be discipline-specific or general for all engineering disciplines) 2. What interests you most about each discipline? 3. What similarities and differences do you notice about the various disciplines?Department faculty retained autonomy in developing their presentations, so there was no pre-determined format. Some departments brought graduate and undergraduate students for aquestion and answer session. Some departments brought faculty and department heads that gavecompelling presentations, and some brought demonstrations of projects students may work on

identify behaviors, triggerevents, and possible means of automating the analysis. Several other metrics were identified butthe process to automate will require further research and study. For example, in watching videodata, our team noticed that for some individuals and puzzles, there were moments of insightwhich were characterized by a shift in seemingly random placement of objects with no success tosudden intentional rearranging leading to a solution. As an analogy, consider a crossword puzzleor Sudoku puzzle where filling in a critical clue or box leads to a rapid conclusion.Such behavior was noted in this study but writing code to automate this feature is outside of thecurrent project scope.

and Dweck compiled research conductedon resilience, mindset, and people’s understanding of malleability of intelligence16. Yeager andDweck conclusions included the role parents and educations can take towards positivelyinfluencing a student’s resilience. Parents and educators should reinforce the malleability ofmindset through the guidance provided in discussions.The third theory guiding the research project is Self-Efficacy. Coined by Albert Bandura, Self-Efficacy is a term which has been defined as a person’s belief that he/she can act purposefullytoward achievement of the goal3. Through achievement of goals, people served as agents of theirown future. Professional development is an effective approach for enhancing a professional’sself
and math-driven nature of engineering students.Intuitive learners prefer to investigate possibilities and relationships. These learners are morecomfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations. Intuitive learners can use the casestudies to investigate “what if” scenarios in their projects. The sequential preference by thestudents would suggest use of cases that present facts where students can use well-establishedmethods such as laboratory procedures to solve a problem that could enhance learning. This isconsistent with the model we chose to use for the cases combined with the laboratory exercises. The majority of the students represented visual learners (95%).

The constant exposure of this attitude set forth by society haslong lasting, and in some cases severe, effects on the mental stability of young Native students.As a result, some students begin to believe that their chances of succeeding in the future are veryslim, so they often flunk out of high school and dismiss the idea of attending college altogether.This is a very damaging self-fulfilling prophecy that is very real to these

Duringthe asynchronous lab session, students are required to read the lab instructions and watch shortvideos before beginning the lab exercise or project. A pilot class simulates the online course withthe newly developed content. The flipped classroom method shows promise based on studentfeedback and comparing student learning outcomes between the pilot class and the face-to-facecourse. The feedback from student surveys is discussed as well as suggested improvements ofonline course instruction.KeywordsOnline, Flipped Classroom, Short Videos, Adaptive LearningIntroductionCTU is a private for-profit university
