PrinIE is a three-credit course consisting of two 80-minute lecturesand one 90-minute laboratory. Two years ago, we were asked to take over as the instructor (Cassady) and teachingassistant (Schneider) and to revitalize PrinIE. Upon agreeing to this task, we established threeobjectives for designing and delivering the course. The objectives are: (1) to get studentsintroduced to and involved in both the INEG and University of Arkansas community, (2) to Proceedings of the 2005 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education

In addition, the ChE advisory board was skeptical that the flipped version was effectiveand wanted support for its efficacy after students complained, during the annual interviewprocess, that they did not like flipped courses. Thus, the instructor enlisted assistance from theuniversity’s Assessment Coordinator to begin a more systematic and longitudinal assessment ofthe success and impact of the flipped version of the course
