and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” This quote illustrates quite succinctly Mark Jupina’s pedagogy in teaching courses to undergrads. Since the 1990’s, Dr. Jupina has employed ”active learning” techniques both inside and outside of the classroom using various modalities, including the flipped-lab approach dur- ing the last five years. More recently, Dr. Jupina has also incorporated Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML) exercises into his sophomore and junior-level courses. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 “FLIPPED LAB” APPROACH IN ELECTRONICS DESIGN TO ENHANCE STUDENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE Department of Electrical & Computer

Thisapproach develops multiple, pairwise linkages among strategic classes in the engineeringcurricula to promote curricular integration and help students see connections between their first-year courses and subsequent courses.Vertically integrated problem-based learning scenarios that link across courses are crucial to thismodel. Our first vertical effort focuses on MatLab, to integrate learning of this engineering toolin an introductory computing course with the solution of statics problems in an introductorymechanical engineering course. Pre-reform data show that students taking the introductorycomputing course do not see the importance of learning MatLab, because they do not seeconnections to their future courses. This has negative
