model. Students watch videos and complete a short quiz before coming to class. During class time, students work collaboratively on in-class exercises that require them to analyze and evaluate design situations or problems. Then, design teams tackle their
own unique semester-long design project.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Three assessment methods have examined the impact of using a flipped classroom model. Two assessment methods were summative in
nature and showed little difference between the flipped and lecture models. The third assessment method was formative and relied on evaluating teams’ technical memos, documents that were created as students applied steps in the design process to their project.
When assessing the technical memos, some statistically significant differences were seen between the lecture and the flipped models. In addition to thoughts about the timing of assessment, we hypothesize that using a flipped model of instruction in engineering
design may have a more significant impact on complex material.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">RSVP:
