While the FYE should lead tostudents making more informed decisions about their choice of major resulting in higherretention rates within each major, it also means the departments have one less year of contactwith students.To combat lost contact time, a new introductory course was developed for first semestersophomores. The introductory course is divided into modules, each detailing a design problemfrom the different specializations within BAE. Each

Convert each chapter to video capture, broken into several learning segments. 2. Redesign the curriculum: develop/select content for in-class discussion that promotes active learning focused on key course concepts. 3. Create incentives for student participation. 4. Provide students with an understanding of the flipped classroom model. 5. Create a sense of ownership and commitment. 6. Make other key changes to syllabus and supporting material.
