In light of these considerations, wehave approached this challenge by restructuring an existing course which already had beensuccessfully structured to address engineering ethics concepts central to the nature and causes ofengineering failure, by expanding the course via the logical integration of case studies and otheractivities focused on the impact of diversity and inclusivity (or rather the lack thereof) on failuresin development, deployment and use of technology.Effective design or redesign of a course is not a simple matter – in fact, redesign of an

for directing theuse of class time. It is up to the educators to provide support to the students and help inprogressing their learning. Overall, the pedagogical model is rather valuable for engineeringcourses as it provides the opportunities to incorporate activities and other active learning toolsthat are best suited for students in engineering. Supporting this notion are three studies, [5], [6],[7] found that the flipped classroom model had a positive impact on the students’ performance[5] in a course along with helping them build the necessary soft skills sought in the workplace[6], [7].Several studies have been conducted in review of the effectiveness of flipped learning on astudent’s experience in engineering courses.

Although social media is popular amongyounger generations, we are surprised to observe many students have never edited a video.

Education (SDE)3.1 Project-based learning approachIn the last two decades PBL has become an important and recurrent learning technique applied inAEC education in combination with ICTs [1]. PBL is a proven effective pedagogical approachwhere the students have an active participation in the learning process [20]. PBL involvesplacing the students in realistic scenarios in order to solve real problematics. Some of the skillsthe students can develop through this approach are building knowledge, critical thinking,creativity, and soft skills (e.g. leadership, communication, teamwork) [1].3.2 Transversal citizenship attributeTransversal citizenship is an academic component of support for educational models inuniversities [7]. The objective is to bring the
