Phillip Cornwell currently teaches at the United States Air Force Academy and is an Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1989 and his present interests include structural dynamics, structural health monitoring, and undergraduate engineering education. Dr. Cornwell has received an SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award in 1992, and the Dean’s Outstanding Teacher award at Rose-Hulman in 2000 and the Rose-Hulman Board of Trustee’s Outstanding Scholar Award in 2001. He was one of the developers of the Rose-Hulman Sophomore Engineering Curriculum, the Dynamics Concept Inventory, and he is a co-author of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics, by Beer, Johnston, Cornwell, and Self. In 2019 Dr. Cornwell received the Archie Higdon Distinguished Educator Award from the Mechanics Division of ASEE.
Flipped classes are relatively common in the engineering education community. In a flipped class, the lecture content is typically delivered asynchronously via videos, and the in-class activities are ideally redesigned to be more active. Due to COVID-19, many classes have become entirely remote. With classes no longer meeting face-to-face, what should the “in-class” portion of a flipped class look like? In this paper, I will discuss a flipped, remote dynamics class. Videos of lectures and example problems were watched by the students before the class met synchronously via Blackboard Collaborate during the regularly scheduled class times. In particular, I will present ways to enhance the out-of-class videos using embedded questions and the strategies that were used to engage students during class including activities such as grading the completed homework assignment, concept questions, and breakout rooms to work on the next homework assignment. Assessment data on students’ perceptions of the class and which activities were most beneficial in the flipped, remote environment will also be presented.
