. This study should have broad-based applications for other educators within the domains of SMET education, particularly thoseinterested in courses designed for Liberal Arts majorsI. Introduction The primary purpose of teaching is to facilitate student learning. However, many traditionalteaching methods have clearly been shown to encourage passive rather than active learning [1],and passive learning hinders comprehension and long-term retention of important concepts.Students in traditional classrooms acquire most of their knowledge through classroom lecturesand textbook reading, but good teaching involves a great deal more than simply pouringinformation into their heads. Students do not enter the classroom with a tabula rasa. They bringtheir
