Implementation of Flipped Classroom and Active Learning Techniques in a Transportation Engineering Introductory Course

Active learning and cooperative learning have shown significant benefits to students in STEM disciplines.Several active-learning and cooperative learning techniques have been introduced to the Introduction to Transportation Engineering course at the University of Kansas, Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering Department.This class is also taught as a flipped class.A comparison of student performance between two most recent semesters is offered in this paper.Results of the comparison, as well as students' responses to surveys conducted throughout this course are also offered.
