Learner Capstone Panels Approach In this approach, the students select their preferred technical focus in computer systems design topicsamong a set of 5 to 7 technical focus topics such as reliability, circuit energy, memory read/write powerconsumption, etc. as identified by the course Instructor. Students are mentored on extending the coursematerial from a topic list by the laboratory Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) and the courseInstructor. The students gain experience composing a scholarly article and produce a substantial paperthat reflects a deep understanding of a topic having narrow breadth. Extra Credit (EC) is allotted to thoselearners who go beyond the baseline requirements and explore additional papers in order to provide amore

This isnot surprising because EV300 is the course focused on learning environmental knowledge, andthis is in line with previous studies [8], [10], [11], [15], [25]. Initial assessments showed thatmales had more environmental knowledge than females, which has also been found in Robelia’sassessment of six previous studies. Statistically significant differences in knowledge wereremoved by the end of EV300, and although

Students typically acquire this skill byadolescence for objects they are familiar with [24]. He cautions, however, that if the object is notfamiliar, students may have difficulty in visualizing the object even while in college.

This indicates that, despite some promise shown in the flipped coursesection, students in that section were still not able to achieve at the same level as their peers inthe mixed-delivery class. The reason for this outcome answer may be due to the reinforcement ofideas provided by the combination of lecture and video in the mixed section (described in moredetail below) as well as the difficulty students and faculty experience with transitioning to aflipped classroom model.As noted in the literature
