Reversing this is known asthe flipped classroom and has become an approach that allows an instructor to use class timemore effectively [1-4]. Bergmann and Sams [4] argued that this model allows students to beengaged and take responsibility and ownership for their learning. Their model utilizes shortvideos that introduce a topic to the students and then present a worked out example or conceptualproblem. Students watch these before class and then spend class time discussing the material,working on conceptual questions using peer-instruction, or problem solving, all being

Energy SystemsIntroduction The low percentages of students being retained in engineering majors have been welldocumented [1]. Without increasing the numbers in this subset, it is difficult to impact thenumbers of new graduates entering the workforce and pursuing higher degrees. The problemwith the general image of engineering that is known to contribute to low enrollments is the lackof understanding of how engineering can be used to improve society. One way to this image is to engage students in hands-on experiments. The students’ interest inscience and engineering can be increased if they are exposed to more hands-on researchexperiences rather than what is traditionally offered in undergraduate curricula.

While DSP may be taught in various ways, it isgenerally agreed by engineering educators that a solid understanding of many fundamental DSP topics ismore fully realized when students are required to implement selected DSP algorithms in real-time (typicallyin C).1 While non-real-time (i.e., off-line) algorithm implementations with tools such as MATLAB orLabVIEW are easier to include in courses, and require more modest hardware and software, experiencehas shown there is significant benefit for students to including real-time DSP in the curriculum.The best approach
