Taken together these scores indicate thatstudents who completed the flipped EGE 210 were prepared to be successful in their futurecourses that built upon this one. Letter grades also indicate that students were academicallysuccessful in BME 412, where the average score was 87.73 ± 5.14% and the most frequentlyearned letter grade was B+ (Table 2). While the grades and other evidence suggest that studentsin both courses learned the content, student comments indicate that implementation of flippedlearning in the biomedical engineering course was much more successful than in the statics anddynamics course

Students are asked to return ordonate only functional, non-customized parts. The large number of students and large volume ofparts led us to establish an assembly-line-style drop-off system for parts. Sets of bins fordifferent items are placed in several stations in the lab space (Figure 2A), and teams deposit theitems into the appropriate bin. As appropriate, (e.g., for motors), information sheets and/or bagsare supplied to keep sets of items and/or their specifications together (Figure 2B). A B Figure 2
