Some lessons learned are presented along with a summary of studentfeedback.II. Implementing the Inverted ClassroomMechanics of Solids is a blend of fundamental theoretical concepts and extensive problemsolving. In a traditional lecture format, all problem solving in class is done by the instructor. Asthe expert in the subject matter, the instructor typically lays out the theory and the problemsolving process with some interaction with the students. Active learning exercises

On the other hand, the systematic study of digital fundamentals in the intro class maynot be possible as it would require a significant extension of an already tight syllabus. Whatcould be done to resolve this dilemma?This paper reports on our pedagogic method of introducing the microprocessor material on oneparticular class laboratory in an engaging yet technically correct way that is particularlyappealing to non-major students. The laboratory syllabus includes the following steps: 1. The base circuit is a single power MOSFET connected in series with a small DC motor and a protection diode. 2. A PIC microcontroller is the source of control signals for the power MOSFET

However, we strongly disagree withthis classification of lecture and believe that lecture is a vital tool for instruction, includinglearning-centered instruction, in technical courses including engineering and chemistry.Certainly, the lecture format has its share of problems; and we personally believe that a balanceof lecture and inquiry-based approaches (foundation of learning paradigm) has proven the mosteffective structure for our courses, especially in introductory courses. Some of the more notableproblems associated with the lecture format are that students tend to take many more notes at thebeginning of lecture than they do toward the end of lecture and that students lack the ability totake accurate notes.
