experience.The paper summarizes both the advantages and disadvantages of the classroom flip from theinstructor’s perspective.IntroductionThe current challenge facing engineering educators goes well beyond conveying technicalinformation core to the discipline. While information transfer remains a part of the task, theneed to develop creative and innovative thinkers ready to engage in the challenging professionalmarketplace evolving due to “globalization, sustainability requirements, emerging technologies,and increased complexity”1 is paramount.Instructors must then consider the most effective classroom approach not only to transmittechnical subject matter, but also to foster creative and inquisitive minds that can somedayresearch complex problems and

adage that asserts “when the student is ready, the teacher willappear.” While certainly it is the case that the curriculum is adequate to the task of preparingyoung minds for their roles as engineering professionals, the role of the teacher is not exclusiveto the classroom. In the case of fortunate engineering students, the teacher will take many forms.Potentially among these is a network of faculty, employers and cooperative educationprofessionals. This highlights the “value added” of experiential learning. By expanding theclassroom boundaries beyond the campus, the student broadens his/her educational reach whilesimultaneously enhancing workplace competencies.

Out of the six performance indicators for theirmodel, libraries can have the greatest effect on both "institutional climate/culture" and"institutional receptivity". The climate/culture reflects how students are treated, opportunities forresearch and contributions to a chosen discipline, and especially whether students feel like theybelong. Library programming can be created to foster this sense of an "inclusive
