For instance, non-native English speakers mayexperience language barriers in the classroom or laboratory.

The committee created and leveraged personal relationships via grassrootscampaigns to recruit, matriculate, retain, and support women students in the CEC. For example,committee members began a letter writing campaign, writing to high school senior girls who hadbeen accepted to the engineering program encouraging them to enroll.

This model has rarely been used to teach subjects from theapplied science, technology, and engineering fields [5]. In a recent study of fifty-eight peer-reviewed research studies on flipped learning in the higher education STEM disciplines, resultsindicate that only about 6% of these studies were conducted in the applied science, technology,and engineering domains [5]. There are a few works where a flipped model has been usedsuccessfully in the applied science, technology, and engineering disciplines ([3]; [7]; [10]; [11];[13]; [10]; [16]). Similar to the non-STEM
