The mostprevalent location for publications highlighting the first-year project details is the proceedings ofthe annual American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) conference and KEEN cards(engineeringunleashed.com/card).Projects ranged from solar-powered food dehydrators [4], re-engineering a mini-drone [5],reverse engineering of a simple household appliance or medical device [6], energy efficiencyassessment of windows [7], or more general problem prompts such as food insecurity or theopioid epidemic

Overall, improvement in both studentengagement and learning outcomes has been observed for the online flipped Fluid Mechanicscourse. Finally, the paper discusses the advantages, implementation strategies, and limitations.IntroductionSince the late nineties, web-based remote teaching and learning, namely online courses, havebeen growing rapidly to meet the educational demands of those limited by location, time, andavailability. Based on studies performed prior to COVID-19 pandemic, students perceived onlinelearning to be more convenient [1], but less effective for learning compared to face-to

The context of the data in Table 1 is that Fall 2019 was a pre-COVID semester,and is representative of the previous several years of the program, Fall 2020 was conductedprimarily on-line, and saw a general decrease in the number of students taking courses in theprogram, and then both Fall 2021 and Fall 2022 were semesters with primarily in-person courseofferings with small decreases in student enrollment – but with students no longer being requiredto take a certain number of technical electives to graduate.Table 1: Technical elective course offerings and student enrollment in the technical electivecourses offered by the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for the Fall semesters

(ASEE) published a special education researchproject dedicated to retention related issues of engineering students in 2012 [1, 2]. This ASEEretention project collectively invited around 60 universities to share their perceptions on thistopic and, specifically, asked for a focus on exploring the best practices and strategies forretaining students in Engineering, Engineering Technology and Computing programs [1, 2]. Themain focus of this study is to find the reasons why 40 to 50% of engineering freshmen had eitherswitched or withdrawn from the engineering major. The study indicated that it is mainly due topoor teaching and advising, difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of “belonging”within engineering [2, 3]. Furthermore, these
