Engineering Education, 2020 Blended Learning: Electrical Circuits for non-EE studentsAmardeep Kaur and Theresa Swift, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MOAbstractWith the advent of technology, the modern world is always changing around us. Our classroomsare becoming diverse with not just diversity of thought but also the diversity of culture, age, andlearning styles and pace. Our academic institutes are creating welcoming environments for thestudents with learning disabilities in addition to the students with physical difficulties. Aseducators, its our responsibility to utilize the tools of our times to create more dynamic classesby promoting more engagement, better learning experiences and providing different
Paper ID #26809Assessment of Project-Based Learning Courses Using Crowd SignalsMr. Georgios Georgalis, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Georgios is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue Univer- sity and has completed his undergraduate degree at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His research concentrates on a new approach to project risk assessment that is human-centric and allows for prediction of upcoming failures, which gives practitioners the opportunity to prevent them.Dr. Karen Marais, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Dr. Karen Marais’ educational research focuses on improving

Engineering Education, 2018 Assessing Student Assessment in a Flipped Classroom Bryan J. Mealy California Polytechnic State University, San Luis ObispoAbstractOne of the many advantages of a flipped classroom is that it provides more time for instructors towork directly with students. Assessing students with in-class quizzes and/or exams effectivelymitigates this advantage by replacing time spent on direct student/instructor interaction with non-interactive assessment. While assessment using quizzes and exams do not provide a directlearning experience, many students place a high value on such assessment techniques distributedthroughout the course as opposed to having them
