Using the 4 point scale, a zero on the first problem can beredeemed to a B by only three additional problems with perfect scores; a condition which stillrequired effort but is more achievable.Evaluation by the PrinciplesThe basic principle of the flipped classroom is that instruction is moved out of class and practiceand assessment are moved into class. This is clearly achieved in both courses where half of thelessons in Statics and almost all lessons in Solid Mechanics are ‘flipped’. The learningenvironment remains structured through the course notebook and in in class practice problemswhich are designed to build the student’s understanding of each topic.

The single initial research question wasrevised into the following three questions3: 1. What instructional practices have transportation engineering educators employed to improve student learning at the undergraduate and graduate levels? 2. What techniques have been used to measure student learning in transportation engineering education? 3. How have transportation engineering curricula changed over time? a. Where does transportation engineering fit within engineering programs? b. How does transportation engineering fit within

The instructor reviewsthe homework set and then returns to the student with a score based on the correctness of thesolutions provided.Figure 1: a) homework grading process (typical); b) homework self-grading process (by student)By comparison, the implementation of student self-grading (see Figure 1b) for this studyrequired several additional steps.

A strongargument has emerged with regard to the timing of the capstone experience.
