During the course students workclosely with the community, a Honduran non-government organization, and professionaladvisors from various disciplines including civil engineering, water system operations, technicalcommunications, and political governance. The course focuses on wrestling with the challengesof defining a need, evaluating alternative solutions, and devising a plan for system construction,operation, and financing. Results of the first two efforts are discussed from the perspectives ofthe student participants, the community recipient, the NGO, and professional partners

This learning objective emphasizes the iterative process sometimes required in systems design to resolve communication interdependencies between designers. It highlights how incorrect or incomplete requirements can cause problems in systems design, testing as a part of a larger verification and validation plan can uncover problems, and how design changes have a tendency to propagate between subsystems.These topics expose fundamental parts of the SE process26 but also align with broader objectivesin engineering education27 to view design as a multidisciplinary activity where designers musteffectively work in teams to meet conflicting

Progress against plans represents the same score of 0-30 assigned to allmembers of a project team by the responsible faculty member based upon MVP panel

The student was free to include any ideas he ideally wanted to cover or implement.This list was then reviewed and arranged in order of importance by the faculty advisor and theundergraduate student. Being relatively new to programming on Arduino and with the concept ofcontrol and signal processing, the student started the experience by tackling multiple easyindividual tasks in order to get more familiar with the material involved in this mechatronicproject. The initial wish list included such tasks as adding LEDs to the car to provide visualchecks to the user; creating a smartphone application for wireless user input

Therefore, in parallel with making plans to initiatea formal mentoring program, one-on-one, peer-to-peer and group mentoring activities wereorganized by the WISE@OU leadership team, first for the 2012 cohort and then expanded toinclude the 2011, 2013 and now 2014 STEM faculty hires.

Course enrollment also increased by 60% in fall 2014,from 13 to 21 students. Favorable teaching evaluations and comments from fall 2013 encouragedeven more classroom interaction, which led us to the “flipping” model. The fall 2014 course hasbeen evaluated with a new Teaching Survey, supplemented with custom questions about theflipped classroom. We further evaluated this flipped classroom for the degree of instructor-supported active learning and problem solving and student interaction, and for impact on studentfinal exam performance.
