The training was organized by a group consisting of the authors on this paper,an undergraduate engineering student, CS Education researcher, and the K-12 Coordinator forengineering outreach from the university. Building on the suggestion of prior research [4] weaimed to send volunteers into classrooms as interdisciplinary small teams with at least onestudent majoring in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Education. By groupingstudents into small teams we hoped to provide support for the volunteers to persist in theirvolunteering commitment throughout the semester. In addition, we hoped that teachers wouldalso use the

Alongside her research, Dr. Ogle has been active in the development of engaged learning and has led two interdisciplinary undergraduate translational research and education courses - Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) and Clemson Engage. Both courses include trips to developing countries, international internships and sig- nificant fund-raising to support projects with community partners. As a result of her efforts, the CEDC program grew from 25 students to over 100 from 30 different departments and was recognized by the Institute for International Education (IIE) with the Andrew Heiskell Award.

performance. Thus, starting in 2016 theauthor incorporated active learning into the introductory (100-level) plastics course. For some,the pertinent question could be: What do institutions consider as active learning?In a review of the research on active learning, Prince2 defined active learning “as anyinstructional method that engages students in the learning process.” He further suggested that“the core elements of active learning are student activity and engagement in the learningprocess.” While there are several strategies for achieving active learning in a classroom, someauthors have adopted a “flipped classroom” approach to reach this goal. For example, Bishopand Verleger3 defined the flipped classroom approach as “an educational technique that
