If the students come well-prepared and theexercises are well-designed, then it is hoped that students will leave the face-to-face time with adeeper understanding of the core concepts, one which they have worked to develop through theirown efforts with the support of their peers and the instructor.The inverted classroom approach has a basis in three well-known principles of the science oflearning: (a) Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development 1, (b) Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning 2,and (c) “How the Brain Learns” and the retention of core material 3. Lev Vygotsky introducedthe concept of a zone of proximal development (ZPD) to describe the intermediary state betweenthe things a

In doing so, they are also accessingdisciplinary core ideas, such narrowing the scope of their problem space (ETS1.A) anddeveloping possible solutions (ETS1.B).

In this lab,the students first learn and experiment with mechanical advantage by bringing in their own bikeand working with the gear systems. Then, they have analyze the needs of a new bicycle sharingprogram made by a real bike company (Trek/B-Cycle) and have to determine which customerbase is optimal to cater to.
