Seven of these students saidthat they had participated or were participating in a flipped course. All of the students were partof a flipped coursed that was implemented similar to the course of reference.15The first analysis was with respect to the flipped courses. All survey questions can be seen inAppendix A and the students were instructed to mark all of the answers that apply. Thequestions asked were, when do you typically view the online flipped notes and when do you readthe textbook for the flipped course? The available survey response answers were: never, beforethe assigned class, after the assigned class, before starting homework

Spatial ability is defined as theprocesses of constructing, maintaining, and manipulating three-dimensional (3D) objects inone’s mind [1, 2, 3] and considered to have multiple subfactors [4, 5] such as spatialvisualization, spatial orientation, and speed rotation [6]. Research studies that discussed theroles of spatial ability in engineering education have primarily focused on the spatialvisualization, which is the main factor of spatial ability [7]. Some widely used spatialvisualization tests in engineering education [8, 9, 10] include the Purdue Spatial VisualizationTest: Rotations (PSVT: R) [11], the Vandenberg

INTRODUCTIONTo control a system in order to get a desired performance has been the longest desire of engineersand planners. The control requirements may be of different kinds: a) to stabilize an unstable system,b) to change the state of a system from one to another, C) to track the output of a system to a knownvariable, and d) to regulate the performance of a system in the face of variable inputs, loading ofoutput, disturbances and external noise. The list is endless depending on the type of application.Learning to control a system requires learning and developing a repertoire of tools for 1. Modeling of systems, 2. Actuation, sensing and transducing 3

The plan mustanswer the question “What will you do if a person with a disability gets involved in yourprogram and is impacted by the lack of accessibility on this technology.” The motivation for thisrequirement is compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended in 2008[1].

encourages students to work and think independentlyto solve problems and focus on concepts they might not fully understand. While interacting withsuch tools, students have an additional opportunity to further their understanding of a conceptand fix any errors on their own, before submitting their homework [1].The application of such devices in engineering courses offers students the possibility of applyingtheir conceptual understanding to a project that requires experimentation, making the contentmore interesting and enjoyable to learn. This gives students the chance to practice designing,building, and testing, all of which, are significant skills for engineers to have [2].

For their senior projects, students apply thebackground and skills accumulated through coursework in researching a problem, for whichthen a solution is investigated, designed and implemented. A significant part of the knowledgeand skills needed for the projects are straightforward learning from the actual courses taken inthe program, but often new skills are needed, specific to the project topic selected, and studentsneed to apply their learning skills in researching a new subject, or getting familiar with a newpiece of hardware or software platform
