Harrison, David J.; Saito, Laurel; Markee, Nancy; Herzog, Serge – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
To examine the impact of a hybrid-flipped model utilising active learning techniques, the researchers inverted one section of an undergraduate fluid mechanics course, reduced seat time, and engaged in active learning sessions in the classroom. We compared this model to the traditional section on four performance measures. We employed a propensity…
