We discuss the theoreticalbasis behind the work, provide some details of the prototype implementation of an on-line tool thatenables such structured discussions, and describe our plans for using it in an undergraduate courseon software engineering and for assessing the approach.1. IntroductionThe most widely accepted definition of the flipped classroom is one where “events that have tra-ditionally taken place inside the classroom now take place outside the classroom and vice versa”,see, e.g., Lage et al. 1 .

day of researchwas dedicated to the elaboration of a “wish list,” as well as the planning of the 7-weekexperience. The student was free to include any ideas he ideally wanted to cover or implement.This list was then reviewed and arranged in order of importance by the faculty advisor and theundergraduate student. Being relatively new to programming on Arduino and with the concept ofcontrol and signal processing, the student started the experience by tackling multiple easyindividual tasks in order to get more familiar with the material involved in this mechatronicproject. The initial wish list included such tasks as adding LEDs to the car to provide visualchecks to the user; creating a smartphone application for wireless user input

Therefore, in parallel with making plans to initiatea formal mentoring program, one-on-one, peer-to-peer and group mentoring activities wereorganized by the WISE@OU leadership team, first for the 2012 cohort and then expanded toinclude the 2011, 2013 and now 2014 STEM faculty hires.

Course enrollment also increased by 60% in fall 2014,from 13 to 21 students. Favorable teaching evaluations and comments from fall 2013 encouragedeven more classroom interaction, which led us to the “flipping” model. The fall 2014 course hasbeen evaluated with a new Teaching Survey, supplemented with custom questions about theflipped classroom. We further evaluated this flipped classroom for the degree of instructor-supported active learning and problem solving and student interaction, and for impact on studentfinal exam performance. The results were mixed, and we discuss plans for future
