fostering more connections to the industry stakeholders,integrating curricula, and enhancing the overall faculty experience (Besterfield-Sacre, Cox,Borrego, Beddoes, and Zhu (2014). A positive classroom experience can lead to furtherinteractions with a professor, which is especially important when considering that students aremore likely to seek advice from a professor than a peer when attempting to determine the bestpath toward success in an engineering course (Meyers, Silliman, Gedde, & Ohland, 2010). Inother words, if undergraduates have had a valuable experience during lectures, they may seek outthese same instructors for assistance after class (e.g., office hours); they may also be more likelyto want to talk to these instructors about

. The students make 3-4 puzzles using Arduino hardware, laser cut or CNC milled parts, and inspiration from course content. They also choose a theme and story to link the puzzles together with a narrative. 3) Each class works collaboratively together to make one big, traditional escape room. In this project, students are divided into small groups and larger committees. The small groups make two puzzles, a fabricated object (cabinet, skee ball machine, mirror maze, etc.), and a 3D printed object linked to their puzzle. The committees help link all the groups together by deciding the flow of the puzzles, the narrative of the room, the look and design of the room, and the marketing of the room to the local

Engineering designcan also be defined as a structured approach to developing, validating, and

Stronger claims about perspective taking, we think, would require speakers to make visiblethese additional actors and their relationships, and bring out the multiple, at times contradictory,epistemic and/or moral stances that actors embedded in these scenarios take.However, we don’t mean to make any argument that our participants are deficient in any way intheir ability to take perspectives.

In theory, flipped classroom models canpotentially make effective use of time, technology, and accommodate various learning styles[17], [24], [25]. They are designed to help students become self-directed learners [15], [24],foster collaborative and personalized learning [17], [26], increase engagement and student-faculty interaction [15], [25], [26], [27], and have been shown to improve student performance[17], [24], [28], [29], [30], [31].
