This instructional pedagogy isbased only on the lower levels of Blooms Taxonomy and often leaves little to no impact on thehigher levels of student learning and retention of material. Literature suggests that traditionallecturing and laboratories which emphasize rote memorization are relatively ineffective whencompared to interactive learning techniques7-9. However, instructors tend to teach using the sameteaching methods employed by their former teachers which consist of formal lectures and “step-by-step” laboratories8, 10, 11.Case studies have been proven to increase student motivation, their ability to apply criticalthinking skills, and can help students integrate concepts learned in the course for problem-solving skills

These metrics include a multitude ofsurvey results, laboratory and course rubrics, class assignments, interviews, and results from theFundamentals of Engineering (FE
in meeting the challenges associated with preparing students to succeed in aglobal economy1. In other words, our current education practices lack instruction on how toincorporate the customers’ needs into a technical solution. To accomplish this and ensure theU.S.’s economic competitiveness, known effective pedagogies must be integrated with anentrepreneurial mindset. This mindset will take engineering education beyond providing studentsjust a technical background, but will develop innovative thinkers who consider the value to thecustomer in their solutions.

Furthermore, all theinstructional tools that were developed and implemented in this hybrid classroom environmentwere also presented and discussed in this paper.IntroductionRecent studies have called for major pedagogical reforms to improve the quality of engineeringeducation by incorporative more active teaching styles1. Modern teaching styles apply student-centered learning techniques to effectively improve the quality of the learning process2,3.However, in today's tightly packed engineering curriculum, the amount of lecture time thatfaculty can afford to allocate to such active learning activities is very limited. In the early 2000’s,the notion of flipping the classroom started to

teaching gas turbine based power engines to undergraduate studentsseem to be effective and engaging.In this course, I also use active learning method. In this teaching methodology, unlike traditionalmethods, students are not just passive listeners. Before each session, students are assigned asection of the textbook. They must read the assigned section and come to class prepared. In thebeginning of each class, there is a quiz related to the assigned reading. Then, there is discussionon the questions in the quiz. During this discussion, the concept related to the topic(s) of the dayis reviewed. Depending on the topic, there may be a numerical problem(s) that is attempted bythe students and instructor. Finally, the class is concluded by a quiz

These are invited to receive an ALEKS license overwinter or summer break.

engineering education.BackgroundCBAM was developed in the 1970’s and 1980’s by researchers at the University of Texas atAustin. Over this timeframe, three main components were created; Levels of Use (howindividuals interact with the innovation), Stages of Concern (the feelings of individuals), andInnovation Configurations (how the innovation is adapted to a particular setting). When used inconjunction, these components aid in assessing and guiding the adoption of innovations in aneducational setting7. Explaining the full complexity of CBAM is beyond the scope of this paperbut this body of research can be further explored in the included references 3,6,8,9
