After concept introduction and development, only two to three problems can becovered in each lesson. In contrast, videos for three solved example problems are available to studentsonline, and another problem is worked during class time for each lesson in the hybrid format. Inaddition, time is available for dedicated review days before exams in the hybrid format where,depending on class length, three to four more examples can be solved in preparation for the upcomingexam.

Boeing was very active inengineering education, and along with several other large industrial employers of engineers, wasinstrumental in focusing attention on the need to reform the ABET accreditation process andcriteria, resulting in the outcomes based assessment system now used by ABET.The 24 outcomes have been arranged in three categories: Foundational, Technical, andProfessional.

The increases are even more pronounced when the assertion to beretained by the students appears in the slide’s sentence headline. Having such a design for theteaching slides, though, has two disadvantages. One is that since the sentence headlines state thekey assertions of the class, the instructor does not have as many opportunities to ask questionsand therefore engage the class in an active way. A second is that because these slides stand as acomplete set of notes, some students mistakenly assume that they need not attend class—theycan just review the class by viewing the posted slides.
