in part to thepromise that the flipped classroom design holds for engineering faculty to find a compromisebetween the long-venerated lecture format and the research-based instructional practices ofactive learning. In its idealized form, the flipped design allows instructors to maintain delivery ofcritical theoretical and background information by presenting this material to the students outsideof the formal classroom setting, thus preserving classroom time for more active learning andproblem-based activities [2], [3].Despite the enthusiasm around the flipping movement, there remains relatively littlecomprehensive research on student outcomes in flipped engineering courses, with most availableengineering-related publications focusing on the

The study uses a material-semioticapproach based on actor-network theory (ANT), which focuses on the interactions betweenpeople, things, and ideas within a constantly shifting network. That approach is used to study theintersections between students’ network of academic practice and the network of industry-basedpractice that they are preparing to enter. Specifically, it looks at how industry-based problemsand examples are represented in material aspects of students’ academic practice throughhomework, lecture slides, and other course materials.The study was designed to provide a foundation for a new initiative being launched in Spring2019.

Previous research identified a set ofcommon causes for these project failures. Does PBL provide students with opportunities to failsafely, and thereby learn to avoid failure in professional practice? We present here an approach tocompare the rates of occurrence of failure causes in student team projects with industry projects.By comparing the occurrence rates, we achieve our first research goal to evaluate whether PBLoffers sufficient opportunities of failure to students. Out of the ten failure causes we examined, wefound that four are underrepresented in PBL, two of which are

Issues related to relationshipswith the advisor, department, and the scientific community as a whole are mentioned as negativelyimpacting the students’ experiences in graduate school.While external factors may be at play, few studies have researched how students’ initialexpectations for graduate school impact their experiences. In a case study of two “questioners”(students who are seriously considering leaving their graduate programs) in engineering graduateprograms, the results showed that academic capability and advisor relationships were not majorfactors in each student’s decision to leave [14].
