Approximately 50 engineering students, juniors andseniors, enroll in this semester-long course every year. The goal of the course is to introducestudents to the analysis and design of analog electronic circuits at the core of biomedicalinstruments. The students learn about essential functions such as signal sensing, direct current(dc) power generation, signal amplification, and conditioning, and about the electroniccomponents used to implement these functions: bio-transducers, diodes, transistors, andoperational amplifiers.The course learning objectives include: 1) the

At thesame time, there is substantial pressure on universities to lower tuition costs and use moreefficient models of teaching such as MOOCs. In this paper we discuss a model for flippingclassrooms that quickly amortizes the initial instructor investment and addresses the universityneed to reduce costs. At Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, we converted one of our highly impactedcore programming courses, CPE 357 Systems Programming, to an inverted style of instructionthat greatly increased instructional throughput without significantly increasing instructionalcosts.
