During that time, Dr. Rahman received license from the New York City Department of Education to conduct robot-based K- 12 STEM education research in different public schools across New York City, trained about 100 public school math and science teachers for robot-based K-12 STEM education, and reached more than 1000 K-12 students across New York City. He then worked as an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Tuskegee University

of 30 for the course. For each chapter, short YouTube videolectures made by the author were assigned to be watched by students. Pages from the textbookwere also given as an alternative or additional way to learn the content. To ensure students'preparation for in-class activities, the students took online quizzes through the learningmanagement system (LMS). These quizzes had about three questions per quiz, and most of themwere algorithmic. The students also responded to an open-ended question about the mostdifficult or interesting topic in a chapter. The performance in the quizzes and the answers to theopen-ended question informed the in-class activities of the instructor.In-class activitiesThe in-class activities in the F2F flipped classroom

It is notable that the implementation of thecommunity engagement project in this study takes place in the “off semester” cycle, whichprimarily serves the nontraditional group of students rather than the “typical” first-yearpopulation.Community-based learning, or service-learning, is a teaching strategy where students are taskedwith a project that benefits a community partner through solving an authentic communityproblem. These kinds of projects have been shown to help students’ perceptions of coursematerial as well as their own futures in a chosen field or major, among other benefits [3], [4]. Forsuch a

Although some research challenges that learning through games is onlysuperficial6, more often research suggests that “the use of games for learning leads to improvedgeneral learning, increased motivation, and improved performance”7. So, while the role ofgaming in learning cannot be considered of certain benefit, the desire to improve performanceand increase motivation through active learning has led educators at all levels to explore thepossibility of gaming.McGonigal has observed that games have actual neurological and physiological effects assuccess – particularly the “epic win” – that trigger a positive emotional response that isheightened beyond what is

Although each of these pedagogical approaches have multipledefinitions and have been implemented in diverse ways by researchers, the overarching theme inall these models is incorporation of online or electronic instruction beyond simple in-classlectures.This paper focuses on a blended (termed as mixed-mode at the authors’ institution) instructionalmodel of content delivery. As identified by Graham, a blended learning model generally fallsunder the following three categories: 1) blending online and face-to-face

It works well for classes where predefined information istransferred from instructor to student, for example, history or basic math. A major bottleneckoccurs when a student must obtain his or her own data through an experiment or laboratorywork. It is important for a student to get hands-on learning to prepare them for a future inindustry [3].

This processallows instructors to first identify desired student outcomes and then design the course aroundthose desired results. It should be noted that this bears a striking resemblance to user-centereddesign, a core tenet of this capstone course, in which designers strive to first understand theirstakeholders before designing a solution.Employing the backward design process, the instructors first developed broad learning goals forthe capstone course, which described what students would know how to do and what they wouldcare about
