Paper ID #23815Flipping a Hardware Design Class: An Encouragement of Active Learning.Should it Continue?Dr. Nader Rafla, Boise State University Dr. Nader Rafla, P.E., received his MSEE and PhD. in Electrical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio in 1984 and 1991 respectively. His Doctoral research concentrated on object recognition and localization from multi sensor data: range image, force-torque, and touch. From 1991 to 1996, he was an Associate Professor at the Department of Manufacturing Engineering at Central State University. Where he taught courses was involved in collaborative research with
research projects. He has collaborated extensively with colleagues across the University on the design, analysis, and presentation of data from both surveys and experiments. He is a co-author on peer-reviewed publications and a co-PI on funded research projects each year. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate level courses in statistical methods, regression analysis, statistical research design, and data analysis.

With active learning, students learn the material in class and can thenapply their newfound knowledge in industry, using that experience to gain a better understandingof the material. This study allows students to collaborate with industry professionals, working onreal
