approximately 1 ms after the input changes. This observation matches the predictedvalue.Transitioning to the Frequency DomainStudents were assigned a similar laboratory experiment in the previous circuits class, but thetime-domain experience and time constant measurement were at the end of the assignment. Thisassignment continues on a path to introduce frequency domain behavior.The next part of the assignment asks the students to increase the frequency of the applied squarewave until the square wave period is approximately ten times the circuit time constant. This tasksets the square wave period to 10 ms, and they must determine the frequency to be 100 Hz. Thisexercise confirms that the exponential response of the circuit is independent of the

Two of the contributions primarilyfocused on experimenting with the flipped classroom practice due to availability of the state ofthe art video and recording equipment purchased and provided by the University. However, oneimplementation targeted introductory math courses while the other focused on a core mechanicalengineering course.

theapproaching vessel is identified as a threat (Huntsberger & Woodward, 2011). This software,developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), originates from NASA’s Mars rovers, but hasrecently been adapted for use on small boats. Figure 1 shows an example of applying thistechnology. Figure 1: 3D trajectory planning under CARACaS - AUV (Huntsberger & Woodward, 2011). Ship design in the U.S. Navy starts with concept design, then moves to engineeringdesign, and then to production design, as shown in Figure 2. The concept phase defines the waythe ship is supposed to function. During this phase, a concept of operation (CONOPS) isdeveloped (Chalfant, 2015).

Instructors may modify the activitiesto adapt them to their context, but in that case, the effectiveness of the activities aseducational tools is unknown. Our goals in the current work are to first, to createversions (modes) of the activities that are easier for faculty to use, and second, assesstheir educational effectiveness. To what extent does delivery mode impact conceptuallearning? Our third goal is to share all modes of all activities, with sufficient informationthat faculty can make good choices about their adoption, and learn which factors are mostimportant

The coursecurriculum was modified substantively while maintaining the original course logistics (2-credits,14 weeks, two lecture sections of 325-350 students).
