course. At an R1 research institution in the USA, the CS1 course for engineering students was of-fered in a flipped classroom. With a new learning environment emerging in many universities,it is important to question how effective this new medium is at cultivating students’ conceptualunderstanding. Furthermore, educational researchers must also investigate how influential differ-ent factors are to students in this new learning environment. Therefore, this paper focuses on thequiz and homework submission times and their effect on the overall students’ performance. Moreimportantly, quiz time is being investigated since the majority of learning, in this environment,is reliant on a student self-managing their time and engaging with the lecture

In other words, Schemas are a set of rules fordesigning instruction that delivers the right information to the right people in an appropriateway.

CNC technology has been the dominant RP/RMtechnology before the emergence of additive processes. However CNC technology haslimitations with respect to geometry, tool wear, and set-up requirements. RP/RM utilize layer-by-layer build technology. CNC shapes parts by the selective removal of material (metal orplastic). Matthew C. Frank points out the difference between two technologies11: “Unlike theexisting rapid prototyping methods, CNC machining is a subtractive process; therefore, onecan only remove the material around the periphery of a part (visible cross section of thepart).” Prominent rapid prototyping experts Terry Wohlers and
