Modules will be taught in traditional lecture and flipped classroom models. 

The flipped classroom model will be applied for approximately half of the program coursework.  Here, prior to attending class, students will view a set of recorded short lectures and take quizzes on that material.  Lecture material will incorporate materials for various learning styles and take advantage of visualization opportunities readily available in this mode.  

Students will then attend classes that are led by an on-site instructor who may clarify concerns on the material.  The emphasis, however, is to lead in-class exercises that will cater to different learners through student-led exercises (problems, design projects, instructing on software, discussions, etc).  Often these sessions will be in a collaborative learning environment in which students work in small groups.  

The remainder of the coursework will be taught in a standard classroom mode of lectures with outside of class exercises, homework and projects.  In this mode, lectures will be provided during class periods.

Laboratory courses involve two to three-hour laboratory sessions in which students complete assignments involving hands-on laboratory experiments and supplemental data analysis either individually or as part of groups. Laboratories are assessed using written lab reports and/or oral presentations.

Assessments

Engineering disciplines require strong mathematics skills.  Assessments (in-class examinations, homework and individual and team projects) will focus on those skills.  In general, grades will be assigned based on performance on those assessments.
