The Broader Impact of increasing the retention of students in baccalaureate Engineeringmajors is derived from the urgent need to expand the pool of STEM graduates, especially raciallyunderrepresented students (African American, Hispanic, Native American). That need isdocumented in a series of monographs by major government and scientific councils. Penn Stateis comprised of the flagship University

Other studies have suggested that there isno significant differences in the learning outcomes of students in traditional lecture coursesversus flipped courses and that those in less affluent areas may have difficulty with accessing thetechnology needed to complete the course [10].The studies identified above are relevant to engineering education and to specific engineeringdisciplines. As engineering education requires soft-skill development to meet industry needs, thequestion arises as to the effectiveness of the flipped classroom technique in engineeringleadership courses.
