The main purpose of the paper is to present a course analysis on the use of the flipped classroom. The objective is to explore the advantages and challenges for students and instructors. The impact of flipped classroom learning is analyzed with a set of students in the classroom. Student perceptions of lecture based learning and flipped classroom is compared to explore and promote active learning methodologies. The challenges of implementing a flipped classroom were identified and addressed using a variety of student-related activities. Mobile app learning methods, scale-up classroom and effective laboratory courses were implemented for a set of students. The significance of the flipped classroom model is noted. It was found that it promotes a deeper, broader perspective on learning, improves critical thinking capabilities and team work skills needed for a successful engineering career.

The challenges of implementing a flipped classroom were identified and addressed using a variety of student-related activities. Mobile app learning methods, scale-up classroom and effective laboratory courses were implemented for a set of students. The significance of the flipped classroom model is noted. It was found that it promotes a deeper, broader perspective on learning, improves critical thinking capabilities and team work skills needed for a successful engineering career.
