Finally, theredesigned course shows active class engagement as obtained from video analytics data.1. IntroductionIn recent years, education in the STEM field has transitioned from traditional face-to-faceinstructional models to newer learner-centered approaches. An important aspect in these newerpedagogical models is integration of technological tools with traditional methods. As reported inliterature, the positive outcomes of technology-reinforced learning in STEM education includepositive attitudes toward content learning, greater retention of direct content

students in a flipped classroom demonstrated an increased desire to interact withtheir peers, explain concepts, and learn from each other, providing “more opportunities forcollaboration and problem-solving” while increasing student communication skills.Incorporating active learning strategies has shown positive results in engaging students andstrengthening knowledge and higher levels of achievement. Today’s millennial students havegrown up with technology and process information differently than past generations. Prensky[10] discusses the millennial as “digital natives” and how they have access to information at theirfingertips preferring to learn in an active and collaborative environment.

In assessing theoverall achievement and results of the study, the reviewers concluded that “the mechanism usedin Escherichia coli to combat heat shock is just what a well trained control engineer woulddesign, given the signals and the functions available.”35One can easily see that these kinds of conclusions naturally lead to interesting discussions abouthow such exquisite engineering can emerge by accident. Nevertheless, researchers continue toapply reverse engineering techniques to natural systems simply because it works. Biologist E.

Thus, engineering is fundamentally a technical and social discipline[3], [4], [5]. Socially engaged engineering skills include those needed to gather environmental,economic and stakeholder information and use it, combined with an understanding ofpersonal/professional identity and team dynamics, to holistically serve clients and societythrough engineering work [16]. Socially engaged engineering skills are vital for the future ofengineering and they are recognized as just as necessary as traditional technical skills of the field[6], [7], [8]. Despite the

One area of competence where students might benefit substantially pertains totheir development of what administrators refer to as “professional” skills. This sentiment is alsoendorsed by a variety of corporate stakeholders across the engineering industry. For example,Dianne Chong, vice president of engineering, operations, and technology at the BoeingCompany, expressed that while “most schools are doing an excellent job producing the technicalskills that we need… employers want more than that” (Benderly, 2015).

For example, students are frequently assigned towork in teams where the negotiation of workloads, tasks and exchange of information requiresextensive interpersonal communication. Moreover, team projects often include writtendeliverables and verbal presentation components to faculty mentors or industry sponsors.Effective verbal and written reports require not just a combining of individual components, butthe construction of a cohesive presentation by the entire team.
