It is also noteworthy that this is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and faculty at specificinstitutions are subject to unique constraints on a case-by-case basis. Our institution enforces someunique constraints that are discussed as applicable.

This was a viable pathway thatseemed to meet the student demand until approximately 2012. The increased demand byemployers for computer engineers with cyber security knowledge and our outreach and co-curricular actives (described below) began to drive interest in cyber security as an undergraduatefocus.

The studentsmay graduate with a gap between knowing how to solve textbook style problems and knowinghow to apply their education in an industry setting.

In Fall 2013, the university ran 14 sections ofCalculus 1 with a total enrollment of 402 students. Of these, 149 (37%) had declared a major inengineering. During the summer of 2013, a colleague of mine and I began to discuss thepossibility of teaching our sections of this course using an inverted design. This discussionemerged from a dissatisfaction with teaching the same course during the summer in a traditionalformat. Student performance on assessments in that course was acceptable, but the course lackedtime and space in class for exploration of difficult concepts due to the predominance of lecture.Having taught several courses in
