pedagogicalchanges, including a hybrid flipped classroom, have on student engagement and retention ofmaterial in engineering statics. During two academic years (2015-2016 and 2017–2018), datawere collected from eight total engineering statics sessions. The data set includes prerequisitegrades, final statics grades, scores from pre- and post-statics concept inventory and a post-coursesurvey administered via google forms. The additional data collected during 2017-2018 providesa more robust data set to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of the pedagogical changes. Thedata show underrepresented minorities (females) are more engaged in the material with thehybrid flipped classroom, and more importantly, make greater gains in knowledge compared totheir male

However, the 7E model is still a theoretical model andsuccessful application and evaluation of the model in actual instruction design is still notprioritized.In particular, no successful instruction model based on the 7E cycle to teach mechatronics courseto engineering students especially mechanical engineering students is observed. It is believed thatmechatronics course contents can be easily aligned with the stages of the 7E model, and anapplication model of the 7E plan to teach the mechatronics course can be successfully implementedthat may be proven very

Responses of Vibrating Systems Based on Finite Element Modelling Shengyong Zhang Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering College of Engineering and Sciences, Purdue University NorthwestAbstract Vibration is destructive in most mechanical systems and structures. It causes rapid growth ofcracks, leading to fatigue failure of mechanical parts. Manufacturers set performance standardsfor their products to avoid excessive vibration. Vibration is an important topic in industry, and itis necessary for mechanical engineering students to learn how to analyze the responses ofvibrating systems subject to various inputs.
