Work in progress — Developing and implementing an Inverted Classroom for Engineering Statics

Motivated by other recent work, we developed, implemented, and began assessment of an Inverted Classroom model for Engineering Statics at UPRM. The model consists of (1) a set of pre-Lecture Modules and Exercises, delivered online; (2) a Lecture that responds to the students' experience in the preLecture activities, and (3) a Problem-Solving Session after each Lecture. Assessment results from a student survey and an administration of the Concept Assessment Tool for Statics (CATS) were generally positive. The class format, assessment methods, and assessment results are described. A discussion is also provided to indicate how the Inverted model might be implemented for use to unify the delivery of Statics at UPRM.
