mixed, but are generally positive overall. Students tendto prefer in-person lectures to video lectures, but prefer interactive classroom activities over lec-tures. Anecdotal evidence suggests that student learning is improved for the flipped comparedto traditional classroom. However, there is very little work investigating student learning out-comes objectively. We recommend for future work studies investigating of objective learningoutcomes using controlled experimental or quasi-experimental designs. We also recommend thatresearchers carefully consider the theoretical framework used to guide the design of in-class ac-tivities.1 The Rise of the Flipped ClassroomThere are two related movements that are combining to change the face of education

This will be verified by demonstrating the wireless activation of nearby Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs. 7. References [1] J.

, one can demonstrate SDOF and multi-DOF free and forced response. The devices are typically fairly large and require AC power forthe air source (vacuum cleaner) and for the motor excitation system. Vibrations experimentsusing other commercially available turn-key apparatuses may be found in Ruhala [15]. The goalof the present research is to drive down the cost and complexity of the device so that it can beused by students at their desks or in their dorm rooms, requiring only battery power.For lumped, translating systems, harmonic excitation is most easily accomplished throughoscillatory motion. An early prototype developed by the authors is shown in Figure 1. The figureshows a thin beam mounted vertically in a clamped-free (cantilever) manner
of theirmisconceptions about electric circuitsBackgroundPrior knowledge, Misconceptions and LearningStudents come to learning about scientific topics in one of three prior knowledgeconditions: no prior knowledge, partial or incomplete prior knowledge, or withmisconceptions in their prior knowledge that are inconsistent with positionsconsidered as scientifically accurate within scientific communities (Chi, 2009;Vosniadou & Mason, 2012). Misconceptions refer to intuitions or beliefs about a topicthat are inconsistent with currently accepted scientific facts, (Tippett, 2010) and oftenare acquired as we try to make sense of experiences in our environment. Not only arethey inconsistent with accurate facts, they can also be elusive to
actual engineering problems. Moreover,about half of the students remained only “somewhat confident” in their mathematical abilitiesand their ability to succeed in the engineering field after college.AcknowledgementThe authors acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation under the grantnumber DUE-0942270.References1. “Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and employing America for a brighter economic future,” National Academy of Science, Washington DC, National Academies Press, 2005.2. “Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited: Rapidly Approaching Category 5,” National Academy of Science, Washington DC, National Academiy Press, 2010. 3643. “Science
