Weldon School of BME, thecurriculum utilizes the engineering design process to guide students through three (3) differentmodules covering different Biotransport phenomena (diffusivity, mass transport, and heattransfer). Students are required to research, conceptualize, and generate hypotheses around amodule prompt. Students design, execute, and analyze their own experimental setups to test thehypotheses within an autodidactic peer-learning structure. Methods: A multi-year study wascompleted spanning from 2014 to 2016, assessing students’ end of course evaluations. With anintegration of the flipped lecture into the lab being first implemented in 2015 (prior to 2015, theflipped lecture was a stand-alone course offered outside of the lab sections

@purdue.edu.Dr. Anne M. Lucietto, Purdue Polytechnic Institute Dr. Lucietto has focused her research in engineering technology education and the understanding of engineering technology students. She teaches in an active learning style which engages and develops practical skills in the students. Currently she is exploring the performance and attributes of engineering technology students and using that knowledge to engage them in their studies.Ms. Aayushi Sinha, Purdue University I’m a undergraduate student studying mathematics and statistics who is interested in analysis of data.

He also acted as an opinion leader as hecommunicated with his peers about how he used hybrid learning in his teaching and convinced afew to adopt this method. John is a senior lecturer in the program that George leads, and he has been teachingapproximately for 12 years. He had been teaching a hybrid course for three semesters at the timeof this study. John can be categorized as an “early adopter” of hybrid learning in the department,as he was one of the first to follow George’s leadership in this initiative. As he indicated in hisinterview, he learned about hybrid learning from George. He stated, “He [George] started it. Hegot

because it follows aprescribed sequence of individual work and group work, and includes immediate feedback aswell as peer evaluation. TBL is similar to other flipped classroom approaches in the sense thatstudents have to prepare, e.g. by reading a chapter of a textbook, before coming to class to beprepared for in-class discussions and activities. The uniqueness of TBL is that in class studentswork in permanent teams throughout the quarter, activities follow a prescribed process–first areading assignment (or studying material from other sources), then an in-class quiz, and finallyproblems solved interactively in class that require students to apply facts and concepts from thepre-reading.The framework of assuring that students come prepared to

Peer teachers can reinforce their own learning by instructingothers and students feel more comfortable when interacting with a peer [14, 15].

These quizzes were given toincrease students’ attendance, preparation, participation, study habits and to improve examscores.

In each divergent thinking exercise, students were asked to generate multiple ideas fora given “problem” under a strict time constraint. After each exercise, a facilitated reflection sessionallowed for students to learn the idea generation approaches that were used by their peers. Weexamined the effectiveness of the DTSD module using two measures: (1) changes in self-perceptions of creative ability and mindsets and (2) reflections on the influence of DTSD training.Questionnaires containing the Short Scale of Creative Self and Creative and Fixed Mindsetmeasures were administered before

learning stems from Vygotskian social developmenttheory 2. Basic themes of Vygotskian theory are:  Social interactions play a fundamental role in the development of cognition.  A peer could also be a more knowledgeable other – MKO (like: teacher, coach or older adult)  Learning occurs in the zone of proximal development (the difference between what people can do alone and what they can do with assistance).Students involved in collaborative learning with the same level of knowledge will benefit by co-constructing a new understanding of an unknown material through discussion with peers 3-5 .Students with different levels of knowledge will both benefit from collaborative learning.

might be apparent to college students but not to elementary students [22].Another form of fixation is the students’ tendency to stick to their first design idea [23], [24],[25]. Students either stuck to their initial design idea throughout the whole design process orproduced presumably novel ideas yet with little deviation from the original. Luo (2015) noticedthat the first design ideas were the most frequently chosen by elementary students to furtherdevelop. Two other articles pointed to students resisting feedbacks from teachers and peers aboutimprovement on their design [24], [25]. In both studies, elementary students were asked toexplain their proposed design to the class and receive feedback from the teachers and their peers.The authors
