This paper describes a student-centered approach to a power engineering technology course using the flipped or inverted classroom as well as active learning in the form of group discussions and team problem solving. The study compares student performance and perceptions of a traditional, teaching-centered classroom to two different flipped…

This multiple methods (Denzin, 1978) study investigated two instructional approaches, traditional module and electronic Problem-Based Learning instruction (e-PBL), used within a middle school engineering classroom focused on the variables of engagement, content knowledge, student self-assessment and teacher assessment of problem solving solutions.…

Presents results of two long-term research projects: (1) shows that early work experience influences an engineer's performance even more than high grades, (2) lack of organizational coordination rather than the lack of innovative ideas inhibits implementation of computer-based technologies. Lists methods for implementing computer-based…
