before theproject, but used no gendered terms after the project, or included the term “she” when referringto engineers. For example, Sara described an engineer with the following words: I feel like she would try any material she thinks would work. She would also test it out a lot. She would write a lot of notes, so when other people look at her experiments or when she tries to show it to someone, she could show she did trial and error. And be like “This is why this is the best one I did, this is why I think it’s a better material to use.”Sara changed her perception of engineering as being male-oriented to a field were females arealso active participants. Her perception of engineering included activities where women

. Students became more effective communicating their ideas and learning how tocollaborate with peers. This was evident during the big-circle discussion; as time advanced,students’ questions were more elaborated and showed a deeper understanding, theircommunication became more organized and structured, and their models were more robust(more coherent representations) towards the end of the semester.Students’ appreciation of the course could also be counted as a positive result.Students’ opinions regarding the integrated courseThe research group was interested on knowing students’ opinion about their experience duringthe integrated Physics and Mathematics course. To that end, a Google Survey was implementedand sent to all the students who had taken the

approach.Literature Review: The Flipped EE ClassroomThe flipped classroom, which was implemented in this course in the fall 2014 semester, is anactive-learning approach that enables higher-engagement activities during class, such as problemsolving, with the instructor present as a guide; this is done by having students review lecturecontent beforehand using media such as online videos3, 4.Upon a review of the literature, we found other electrical engineering courses that have beenflipped, with mostly positive results. In a signal processing course, the instructor noted that ittook a few weeks for the students to adapt to the new environment, engage with their peers, orask for assistance5. However, by the end of the term, less than 10% indicated a preference
facultydevelopment initiatives, organized by ASEE and sponsored by NSF, Virtual Communities ofPractice24 (VCPs) aimed to bring together practitioners in specific disciplines with faculty activein the scholarship of teaching and learning in those disciplines. One of the authors participated inthe VCP and found it to be useful, but more as an introduction to research-based instructionalpractices, than a comprehensive resource to walk a practitioner through implementation andevaluation of an innovation. The main issue again was the general context in which mostexamples of innovative teaching practices were presented. The participants saw the value ofvarious practices such as peer instruction, but found it hard to translate it to the context of theircourses
of technology in the classroom provides an opportunity for studentsto interact more efficiently with information and peers in a learning environment. The interactiveteaching methods discussed in this paper relate to active, inductive, and problem based learning(PBL). Active learning is most generally defined as any instructional method of engagingstudents for the entire duration of the teaching contact time6. In addition to traditional homeworkand examination, active learning allows students to participate in collaborative activities thatpositively influence student attitudes and study habits for course material6. Inductive learningencompasses interactive instruction techniques including inquiry learning, PBL, project-basedlearning, case
engineering and science courses. Laws et al. highlightsignificant learning gains in university students who participated in active learning classrooms(30% vs 75% of students who understood fundamental acceleration concepts)7. According toLaws et al., the elements that improved student learning include using peer instruction andcollaborative work; using activity-based guided-inquiry materials; using a learning cyclebeginning with predictions; emphasizing conceptual understanding; letting the physical world bethe authority; evaluating student understanding; making appropriate use of technology; andbeginning with the specific and moving to the general7.Inductive-learning is a method of learning which exposes the learner to an observation orexperience
concepts and perform calculations; it is imperative that the engineer exercise soundjudgment in the application of those concepts and the interpretation of those calculations. Davisgoes on to explain that students of engineering need more than textbooks from which they cangather facts. They need capable teachers and hands-on learning experiences. To learn thediscipline, Davis argues, students “must solve problems, participate in discussions, work in labs,write reports, and otherwise practice the discipline, under the supervision of those who are adeptat it.” Finally, he states that as judgment is developed, learning engineering theories and conceptsbecomes easier, eventually enabling self-directed learning.These drivers encourage educators to rely

. The joint case study grade is worth 10% of the final grade for ENGR 321. Each student writes a 700 word essay about the assigned topic and a 300 word essay about how the sophomore class can realistically contribute to solving the problem. Both essays require citations: at least five citations for the 700 word essay and at least one citation for the 300 word essay. Each group gives a five minute presentation, and then the entire class discusses the problem. When the joint case study debuted in Spring, 2018, class of 2020 sophomores investigated these elements of Hurricane Maria: how individuals have coped, political representation, electrical infrastructure, island finances, effect of climate change on hurricanes, and response

, 2].In engineering education research, belongingness is often investigated through the experiences ofwomen in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers [6, 7].Tonso found that “Women belonged only in the social arenas of Greek societies, not asengineers” [8, p. 365]. Women were excluded from the social activities in engineering availableto their male peers and thus had decreased perceptions of belonging. In a survey of 288undergraduate engineering students, Cech and colleagues [9] found that students, especiallywomen, who developed confidence in their fit with the engineering profession were more likelyto persist in engineering. Other studies have also shown that creating an alignment betweenwomen’s

These ten practices are: first-yearexperiences, common intellectual experiences, learning communities, writing intensive courses,collaborative assignments, experiencing different worldviews, community-based learning,capstone experiences, undergraduate research, and internships. In particular, undergraduateresearch and internships are relevant to engineering education but are not utilized by allundergraduate students (as opposed to a required capstone design experience). Thisunderstanding of high impact practices, the engineering education landscape, and the variationsin access to these experiences amongst students led to the focus on the role of undergraduateresearch and internships on engineering task self
engineering problems by comparing results from both application of models/physical principles and measurement data. 5. Students will apply basic teaming principles (such as the Tuckman’s Model) and team effectiveness practices while working with their teams. 6. Students will write a technical report and give an oral/multimedia presentation following [course name] technical communication guidelines which include formatting, explaining and justifying aspects of the project. 7. Students will construct detailed project plans using basic project management techniques (such as scheduling and budgeting) and methods (such as Gantt charts). 8. Students will self-evaluate their prototype design decisions and reflect on the
outcomes and observations on adopting the new method.Based on the results of numerous informal classroom experiments and hundreds of informaldiscussions with students, it was determined that most students do not use effective studystrategies to fully understand key concepts and to master problem solving techniques. Instead,the goal of their current studying and test taking strategies is to “maximize partial credit.” Thesestrategies work as follows. 1. Memorize problems from the homework, in-class examples, or previous exams. 2. Match each problem on the exam to one of the memorized problems that most closely resembles it. 3. Write down the memorized solution, making adjustments along the way so that the solution looks more relevant
