experience of new faculty can be leveraged to build a strongerconnection among students, classroom material, and professional skills requirements. A broadnetwork often built with industry experience can assist the new faculty member in supportingstudents in their job search, bringing guest speakers into class, and building student designprojects around real projects from industry partners. Teaching focused institutions in particularwill reap the benefits of hiring faculty with industry experience, and opportunities exist toimprove recruitment and orientation methods to assist new faculty with the transition.ReferencesAdams, Robin S., and Richard M.

California that offer a computer sciencedegree [16]. Of those, only 4 are accredited by ABET [1]. This means that 8% of private 4-yearcomputer science degrees in California are accredited by ABET.There are presumably a wide range of reasons that a computer science program would choose toforgo ABET accreditation. A detailed discussion of these reasons is beyond the scope of thispaper. What is of note here is that a substantial fraction of 4-year California universities choosenot to be ABET accredited. Hence for whatever reason(s), non-accreditation is considered aviable option for those universities, either by explicit choice or for some other reason such asinsufficient resources to devote to ABET.Conspicuously missing from the list of ABET

The same result can be obtained from circuitsimulation software.

As a social cognitive theory, CAT positsthat students learn from experts by observation, imitation, and modeling. The instructor(s) serveas coaches to bring tacit processes out in the open. In flipping the course described herein,students spent more time actively observing and learning from the instructor than was possible inthe traditional lecture format. Coaching was more targeted and problem solving became anexploration where strategies were learned, reflection was built in with student peers workingtogether, and informed inquiry prior to coming to class enabled scaffolding.Structure of the Flipped CourseDuring the flipped portion of the

There has been a significantimprovement compared to the 1980's, during which only about 5.8% of engineers were woman,but the numbers remain relatively low with female engineers only making up about 14% of theengineering workforce within the United States. Suggested reasons for this phenomena includelack of female role models and young women having fewer technological problem solvingopportunities throughout K-12 than when compared to their male counterparts13.To attempt to combat the lack of female engineering students within an Engineering Technologydepartment at a University of Louisiana, the department developed a “Girls Who Draft”program, which is partially motivated by the Girls Who Code

Also, for this semester the number ofin class quizzes was further reduced, with 4 quizzes for statics and 2 for dynamics. Also thestatics exam was given over 2 class periods, as a common time for both sections of students wasnot available due to the students’ schedules.
