thesuccess of each respective student “type” that will prove useful to faculty, staff, and practitionerswho work with Black male students in STEM.IntroductionThe nation strives to maintain a competitive edge internationally by contributing significant andinnovative advances in science/engineering. However, our postsecondary institutions are notproducing the number of graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) fields, necessary to keep pace with demand. To curb projected shortages, it isimperative that the country invests in developing and educating a talented pool of qualifiedSTEM graduates. It must do so with an increasingly racially/ethnically diverse society andcollege-aged population. Despite the high demand and

pedagogy is the concept of an inverted or “flipped”classroom. Students complete the lecture portion of the class on their own time by using videolessons prepared by the professor, and utilize the textbook and other materials as a study guide.Then, classroom time is dedicated to a more “hands-on” approach. Flipped classroom activitiesinclude guided, independent practice or lab work, and group-based interactive learning activitiesor inquiries. Is a flipped classroom a better instructional technique to enhance student learning?This research project will help solve this question by comparing two sections of a class in astatistically valid manner during the same semester.In the Fall of 2014, two sections of junior-level CVEN 3602 – Transportation

has been a significant shift to move away from aclassical lecture-based paradigm towards a learner-center paradigm 2, 3, 4 . The latter is an umbrellathat covers a wide range of instructional techniques which include but are not limited to active andcollaborative learning, inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning,case-based learning, and research-based learning. The common factor between all these methodsis that the student develops knowledge through the gathering and analyzing of information.Educators who employ the learner-center approach are required to develop activities that meet thegoals of each specific subject while enhancing the learning experience of the student.

For example, in watching videodata, our team noticed that for some individuals and puzzles, there were moments of insightwhich were characterized by a shift in seemingly random placement of objects with no success tosudden intentional rearranging leading to a solution. As an analogy, consider a crossword puzzleor Sudoku puzzle where filling in a critical clue or box leads to a rapid conclusion.Such behavior was noted in this study but writing code to automate this feature is outside of thecurrent project scope.

These learners are morecomfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations. Intuitive learners can use the casestudies to investigate “what if” scenarios in their projects. The sequential preference by thestudents would suggest use of cases that present facts where students can use well-establishedmethods such as laboratory procedures to solve a problem that could enhance learning. This isconsistent with the model we chose to use for the cases combined with the laboratory exercises. The majority of the students represented visual learners (95%).

However, based on the materials available,some of the design ideas may not be feasible. Subsequently, the teacher leads a discussion aboutmaterials and processes, balancing between creativity and feasibility. Following a demonstrationof how to safely work with silicone rubber and the mold kits, students work in pairs on thedesign project.
