A flipped class, in its most general sense,is characterized by swapping of activities that were traditionally performed in the classroom withthose that were traditionally performed outside of it. Thus, lectures or instructor-led problem-solving sessions (traditional in-class activities in many engineering courses), are presented tostudents outside of class and prior to it (in the form of readings and

Additionally, if at each point the curve has a tangent line,that is, if the curve has no corners, then the motion has a unique direction specified by the slopeof the tangent line. A corner, which is technically called a cusp, is a sharp change in direction.And lastly, if the curve is not a straight line, then the curve may either lay above the tangent line(called concave or turning up which occurs at points A and E in Figure 1) or below (calledconcave or turning down, which occurs at point D in Figure 1).Conceptually, calculus can be divided into two subjects: 1

studentslack the ability to communicate clearly and concisely early in their careers. Their poor writing brings toquestion whether the writing is confusing or the thought process is confusing them. Addressing these twodeficiencies deserves a review of the university writing curriculum. Three questions should be examinedby programs: 1) Should all freshman students receive instruction in creative writing? 2) Should engineeringstudents be taught differently than the general college population? and 3) Should technical writing beintroduced earlier in the curriculum? Three areas to improve engineering writing were identified in FoggyMirror: • Sentence structure to express a complex idea is difficult to master. Students often resorted to complex

EngineeringAbstractEngineering students are often given quantitative problems as homework. Problem solvingprovides students opportunities to retrieve knowledge, apply and adjust conceptualunderstanding, and build analytical skills. Because increased motivation has been shown toproduce better learning outcomes [1] - [3], it makes sense to tailor problems to motivate students.Intuitively, adding contextual elements, such as background information, narrative, images, andlocal references, to problems may be one way of motivating students, but investigation in thisarea has been limited [8] - [10]. Therefore, this study surveyed students to gauge theirperceptions of fundamentally identical problems presented either with or without significantcontextual elements. The primary

In this way, CPI is highly scalable,having the potential to reach a broad audience of learners by curating content from an integratedset of educational resources and thus also orienting a future generation of students towards careersin computer science and related fields.
