that, the international studentshad a different approach as compare to US students. Recommendations are made to improve theirexperiences with flipped classroom pedagogy.KeywordsFlipped classroom; International education; Active learning1. IntroductionOver the past years, engineering education has been challenged to embed more student-centeredlearning strategies. Inverted pedagogies also known as flipped classroom has been considered asone of these learning strategies. In inverted classrooms, events that have traditionally taken placeinside the classroom now take place outside the classroom and vice versa [1, 2]. Recent studieshave demonstrated the effectivity of flipped classrooms for both local (US) and internationalstudents. Johnson [3

While the authors themselves did not proposethat it was associated with the rigor of the engineering curriculum, this author suggests that thisis potentially the case. The difference in graduation rate that was discussed in the paper (100%vs. 43%) hints that this could be the case. In fact, the authors highlighted anecdotal evidence thatengineering students participated in the program because they were afraid that they would be toobusy with cooperative education to participate in other study abroad
