The approach used in this course was to present examples and solutionsin MATLAB and EXCEL because these packages are taught to students in our program in a“computer-tools” class. However, students were allowed to use any software package that theydesire. During one seventy-five minute lecture, two example problems were worked in detailusing the thermodynamic cycle analysis software CyclePad.6 A screenshot of the CyclePadinterface is shown in Fig. 1.

Students in theflipped classroom attended a weekly two-hour session on campus where they would have accessto an instructor to answer questions about material presented in the videos, work problems andoffer hands-on learning[11].To facilitate the hands-on learning, each student was required to purchase an Arduino kit[12].The students throughout the course of the semester built the circuits described in the kit’stutorials. At the end of the semester, the students were required to complete a project based onthe Arduino. As a result, they became acquainted with micro-controller hardware and software,as well as, many different peripherals such as LEDs

Some of these papers focuson team formation for senior design [2, 3], while others focus on comparing different teamformation strategies, such as comparing self-selected teams versus instructor-selected teams [2-5]. In Ref.

The class is essential to understand performance-based design, which involves various sources of uncertainty. The class should also emphasize the probabilistic aspect of society and environmental impact. When construction material class is taught, material selection should be considered from both structural performance and sustainable built material perspectives. Second, design courses and capstone projects provide an opportunity for students to apply what they learn in classrooms about PBE and sustainability to “real world” examples. Working on
