Students are organized into teams and are given assignmentsgeared towards hands-on exposure to five engineering disciplines: astronautical, aeronautical,mechanical, electrical, and civil. The final project requires them to design, construct, and launcha rocket-powered boost glider. The boost glider is produced in a five-stage process whichbalances textbook and laboratory work, with each stage focused on one of the engineeringdisciplines. Faculty from each of the five engineering departments at USAFA teach the course,reinforcing the multidisciplinary nature of

The central objective of this pilot was to examinehow adaptation and later adoption of the new MIT edX 6.002x (Electronics and Circuits) MOOCcontent in a flipped model of teaching might improve student learning in a credit-bearing collegecourse. Multiple objectives for this pilot included: to improve the department’s typical passagerate of 59% for this course; to improve students’ retention rate; to shorten students’ time-to-degree; to improve the quality of the content of the course; and to reduce the prerequisitecontribution for successful passage of subsequent courses.

However one of the problems oftenassociated with distance learning material is lack of immediate feedback. However many effortshave been made in physics teaching in this respect. One such system has been described byWhitlock et al13. In this study learners solved physics problems by working at a distance via acomputer network and an audio link via pre and posttest analysis. The necessary physicsmaterial could be part of the standard lectures though this could detract from the main aim of thecourse and may also be inappropriate for students with a

Educational ObjectivesEducational objectives for essentially any engineering course can be presented using thethree categories developed by Rugarcia, Felder, Woods, and Stice5. These categorieshighlight the importance of life-long learning skills to complement the ever-importanttechnical knowledge. An example of an objective for each category is given in thefollowing.• Attitudes: Students must accept responsibility for their education, including using all resources and requesting assistance when needed.• Skills: Students need to be capable learners; they should be able to set objectives, learn and teach material, and evaluate their own learning.• Knowledge: Students need mastery of a substantial body of

problem by deciding what to focus onabout the problem. This aspect also makes teaching design difficult, especially in the first yearwhen students have completed little to none of their technical coursework. To overcome thisissue, faculty sometimes reduce the complexity by making the design problem purely technical,removing social and policy factors. However, this approach can actually make the problem moredifficult for students, by obscuring the problem context and meaning. Another way facultyaddress the issue is by reducing the ill-structuredness, providing kit-based projects in whichstudents lack opportunities to frame the problem.We sought to investigate how first-year students navigated a complex and ill-structured designchallenge, guided by

Theobjectives of the study were to: 1) provide students with a variety of problems to apply both newand previous knowledge; 2) encourage engagement with the course material outside of in-personlessons; and 3) teach students to reflect and self-assess their own learning. Eighteen homeworkassignments were added throughout the thirty-lesson course. Each assignment consisted of twoparts; practice problems from previous lessons and conceptual responses based on preparation forthe next lesson.
