pre-sented in the classroom earlier in the week. Students used the full Friday class session to workthrough these problems in small groups and submitted their solutions to be assessed for credit inthe course. These sessions challenged students to approach problems that may not have a singlecorrect solution and to think creatively about how they can apply the course content to a uniqueapplication. The no-lecture Friday format was implemented during the Fall 2019 and Fall 2020semesters across five total sections of the course. In this paper, we will thoroughly explain theno-lecture Friday format, present example problems, and discuss faculty and student perceptionsof the format.IntroductionHistorically, engineering education has been very

In Fall 2010 the course was taken over by instructor B, but otherwise retained thesame format, lab experiments, and project.It was clear at the end of Fall 2010 that the lab handouts were extremely dated and confusingto the students. For example, the handouts instructed students to bring a floppy disk to lab,despite the fact that this technology is clearly out of date and no longer used. Because of thisand in response to student feedback, instructor B kept the same lab experiments for Spring2011, but completely rewrote and updated the lab handouts in order to clarify objectives andanalysis questions. Instructor B also increased the number of active lecture

opportunities for students to learn through theexperiences within the contextualized team or problem-based learning environment.Additionally, the emergence of the flipped classroom has provided another strategy to assist inlearning approaches that require both knowledge and skill development. Researchers debate on aunified definition of the flipped classroom. For the purposes of this discussion, a flippedclassroom is defined as having activities that might traditionally take place in the classroommoved outside the classroom through the use of technology, in the form of online learning [5].Problem-based learning/cooperative learning approaches combined with a flipped classroomstructure allows an engineering educator to provide knowledge exchange around
without consideration of existing course content [1].In the second phase of the project, the team reviewed existing courses. The goal of thisundertaking was to review how and when specific knowledge, skills, and abilities are developedand delivered as students currently progress through the program, and to identify gaps betweenexisting and desired program outcomes [1]. A key take-away from the review process ishighlighted below (emphasis added): “The exercise of intentionally reviewing course and program outcomes provided us insight into the program that did not previously exist. We learned, perhaps for the first time, what topics our colleagues are covering in their courses, what approaches and techniques they use in the classroom, and

To more deeplyexplore student reasoning patterns, we use a think aloud protocol to study how students addressthis same friction problem with multiple solution paths, and how they assess their own thinking.Specifically, we ask:1. What patterns emerge in student approaches to the problem?2. How do different student approaches interact with their assessment of their thinking?Previous WorkConcept questions provide one avenue for educators to engage in student-centered pedagogywhere the students influence the content, materials, and pace of learning by providing facultyfeedback on current
