Currently within the United States, there are very few avenues to standardization education.These include either on-job training sessions, typically to specific standards, general courses heldby major standards development organizations (SDOs), or by enrollment in specific graduatecourses at one of only four universities (The Catholic University of America, University ofColorado at Boulder, Purdue University, and the University of Pittsburgh) (1).

promising indications these techniques were positively perceived bythe students.1. Introduction: Literature Review and Instructor BackgroundThe benefits and effectiveness of active learning for student problem solving, conceptual gains,exam scores, and engagement are well established [1]–[5]. Active learning is defined as in-classwork by students that goes beyond simply listening to the instructor and taking notes [6]. Despitethe known benefits of active learning, lecture-based teaching in STEM is still the prevalentapproach, with active learning in general propagating at a slow rate [5], [7], [8]. For example, inelectrical and computer engineering (ECE) departments, where the courses in the present paperare housed, a survey of U.S. faculty

Based on the outcome ofthese discussions, a 15-minute review lecture was prepared by the faculty to address the issuesthat were raised during the student groups’ discussions. Following this brief lecture, the classwas turned into a studio environment in which students were able to put into practice what theyhave learned inside and outside the classroom. Before the end of the lecture session, an onlinequiz was administered to monitor the students' level of preparation and understanding of thetopics being covered.

Introduction“Flipped” classes have surged in popularity over the last three years, driven by the ease ofrecording and posting video content for students to watch, and the need during class timeto compete with distractions from portable electronic devices. Evidence for the benefitsof flipping is starting to mount. Studies have shown improved learning in architecturalengineering and chemistry courses [1], economics [2], and biology [3], among otherfields. Many other studies report student perceptions of improved learning [1, 4, 5] .The instructor who desires to “flip” a class confronts two issues: how to locate or createcontent for use outside of class, and how to
