Abstract

As part of a departmental reform project, a large University converted a "Precalculus College Mathematics" lecture-based course for 97 students into an active learning flipped classroom for first-year engineering students. The curriculum was designed specifically to provide applications of pre-calculus in various engineering subjects. This paper outlines the course evolution, design features, ongoing adjustments made to the course, and quantitative data from the common examination and course evaluations to support the instructional design. The paper concludes with a reflection on which aspects of the learning environment helped facilitate successful learning and guidance for future implementations of a large-scale flipped undergraduate mathematics classroom.
