Future studies will focus on more iteration to consolidate results and theevaluation of peer-teaching benefits. In addition, the hybrid method is currently being considered forapplication in social science classes.References[1] Cuadra, C.

approaches that have been practiced for 50 years are continued [1, 2]. It isnecessary to find an alternative teaching strategy in engineering courses, particularly forconveying scientific principles to real situations. To assess innovative methods for solving theproblems and limitations of the traditional teaching model in chemical engineering andbiomedical engineering, a half interactive hands-on learning experiment, half lecture-teachingmodel is being explored. In this process, having the aim of a better understanding and absorptionof key principles and difficult concepts in fluid mechanics and neuronal membrane physiology,we are combining multimedia technology with whiteboard and hands-on tabletop units.A Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer course

Forthose projects that require a motor the students must identify torque, horsepower, and RPMneeds derived from their analysis. Upon the conclusion of the analysis, students present theirfindings in Critical Design Review (CDR) presentation, to simulate workplace environment,write the final report, and create complete product definition (engineering drawings and models).It is worth noting that there are many skills integrated in our approach, which are aligned withNational Academy of Engineering report on Engineers of 2020 [6] and Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) (www.abet.org) students learning outcomes (outcomes band c).

There is also an apparent contradiction between if theirscience elective has aided them in understanding their chosen specialization compared to if theyhave been able to use the information gained in their science elective. These questions may needto be refined.References1. Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
