From the Editor
This issue includes four papers that are all focused on undergraduate education. Collectively, they demonstrate breadth in educational innovations.
Merrett presents the outcomes from evaluating a classroom approach that combined flipped classroom instruction, case-based learning in an active classroom, and authentic assessments to expose students to open-ended, complex design challenges. The context was a second-year introduction to engineering materials course and the implementation was iterative from 2012–2016. Merrett argues that this pedagogical configuration exhibits improved alignment with the practical learning outcomes associated with engineering materials such as material selection, failure, and heat treatments…
