Inverting instruction in a semiconductor devices course: A case study of a flipped electrical engineering classroom

In this paper, we report our experiences in implementing a flipped classroom model in a semiconductor devices course. The paper presents the course design, pedagogical methods, and results from the most recent offering of the course (Fall 2014). The course design and implementation provide simple solutions to effectively transform and offer a flipped engineering course. Furthermore, to emphasize the need for strategic approaches to implement a flipped/blended learning environment, we include (1) a teaching "toolbox" for flipped pedagogy and (2) recommendations for creating awareness of blended learning at the institution-level.
