involving a comparison of two distinct learning environments. New educational technologies are constantly emerging and evolving. One of the latest advances is adaptive courseware, which has the ability to tailor the assignments to each student’s individual needs based on their own learning style, comprehension rate, prior knowledge base, and many other factors. An examination of student data on performance and retention spanning five years has been conducted in an undergraduate engineering fluid mechanics course. This study compares the results of a traditional learning environment to one which used a novel combination of adaptive courseware and an inverted classroom

The data collected from this survey consists of over 4,000 students’ open-endedresponses to three questions about types of models in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields. A coding scheme was developed to identify and categorize modeltypes in student responses. Over two years, two undergraduate researchers analyzed a total of1,829 students’ survey responses after ensuring intercoder reliability was greater than 80% foreach model category. However, with much data remaining to be coded, the research teamdeveloped a MATLAB program to automatically implement the coding scheme and identify thetypes of models students discussed in their responses.MATLAB coded
