Abstract

Flipped learning has been on the rise in higher education and is growingly used in learning environments in engineering contexts. This case study aimed to examine students’ problem-solving processes and readiness for a flipped learning model in the context of a Civil Engineering course. Learning by Design (LBD) approach was integrated into the course to enhance students’ problem-solving processes. Data source included interviews with the course instructor, teaching assistant (TA), and one of the current students. The analysis of qualitative data revealed that LBD and flipped class activities had a positive impact on students, but they still preferred a combination of traditional and flipped instruction. Results of this pilot study provide recommendations for future implementation of more LBD activities in undergraduate and graduate engineering courses.
