SIIPWhile the COE faculty are generally pleased with the technical content of our courses, the depthof student learning and level of student engagement vary substantially from course to course oreven from semester to semester within a course. This variability is particularly concerning in thelarge undergraduate gateway courses that are pivotal to students’ persistence and subsequentacademic success. Target courses for the program were defined as those that 1) enroll largenumbers of students, 2) enroll students from multiple departments, 3) are regarded as challengingteaching assignments, and/or 4) provide a foundation for subsequent courses. Accordingly, SIIPinitially adopted three goals for improving these courses with the explicit expectation

, who can use this information totailor the next class towards what students struggled most on [9, 11]. When it comes to comparing student achievement between traditional teaching methodsand the Flipped Classroom method, there are some discrepancies. Some have found no statisticallysignificant differences between the two methods; however, it has been found that with a FCmethodology, there are fewer students with lower grades, and generally students obtain bettergrades when frequently attending laboratory sessions [8]. The success of FC tends to heavily rely on the course type. Courses that are more content-based, as opposed to design-based, have been found to perform better [11]. For example, when aFC method was applied to a high

As a part of the session, the participants were asked to reflect and respond to two questions: 1) As an instructor, what is a teaching strategy or practice that you use to create a more inclusive and equitable classroom (i.e., to help students feel like they belong and are supported)? 2) As a student, what is a teaching strategy or practice that you wish your instructors used to create a better

Also, it isinteresting to note that the question related to the course (i.e., question 1) and the question relatedto reputation (i.e., question 5) show a few low scores after the fourth week while the otherquestions – related more to the instructor – are generally positive after the fourth week.Although a limited sample size, the results of student assessment from Spring 2017 indicate thata majority of students weresatisfied with the course and the instructor.

Italian architect StefanoMarzano once said “"every time we design a product we are making a statement about thedirection the world will move in" [1]. As engineering instructors, we must strive to create well-rounded engineers, who are technically sound, creative designers, with strong ethicalconvictions. Engineering education in the United States has traditionally emphasized theacquisition of technical knowledge [2]. Traditional engineering courses can often lack the hands-on training that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, limiting engineeringstudents' ability to grasp the real-world implications of their studies [2].
