report improved levels of satisfaction in studies of flipped classrooms [9],[23] andspecifically in engineering courses [4],[13]. Research has shown a student preference for theflipped class model relative to traditional models [9],[24]-[27]. Student engagement within theclassroom setting and with peers is also facilitated by the flipped class model [23]. Interestingly,some research suggests high-performing students benefit more than weaker-performing studentsfrom a flipped class [27]. In addition, flipped classrooms have been shown to be impactful forretaining people of color in STEM [28].1.3 Why did we attempt a flipped class?While the flipped classroom approach may not be appropriate or effective for all types ofcourses, instructors, or

The distribution ofcriticisms of active learning techniques are adopted as identifying elements of their practice inthe corresponding three categories: ‘Increased Interaction’, ‘Increased Responsibility’ and‘Decreased Expertise’. Decreased expertise in this context involves removal of the professor asthe primary authority for information as presented from the peer-directed activity; their peers areviewed as having decreased expertise compared to the knowledge of the instructor.

It is suggested [10] that women’s learning isbetter supported in an environment that is different from those in traditional education and from thosethat support men’s learning. The ‘chilly climate’ in engineering classrooms has been identified as themajor reason that leads to women’s inferior experiences to their male peers [9]. Through addressingsome commonly identified issues for female students in male dominated courses, Lewis [21]elaborates what is required for technical education to be gender inclusive.

To help address some ofthese issues in a junior-level Introduction to Biomedical Engineering course, the author haschosen (for four recent Spring course offerings) to set aside two to three weeks of each 16-weekcourse for discretionary topics chosen by the students. Each student or student pair then takes onthe role of the instructor and teaches that topic to the rest of the students in the format of a 25-minute seminar.

This studyhas its origins in concerns about inequities, but concerns were accompanied by a skepticismabout simplistic diagnoses of the problem. Inequitable student outcomes have strong associationswith race and family income, which can be proxies for access to quality secondary education andparental college achievement [1], but there are other factors at work. Students pursuing STEMmajors in college often suffer even worse outcomes than their non-STEM peers, with studentsfrom underserved groups experiencing much lower retention rates (i.e., retention in a STEMmajor and retention in college generally) and
