Blended Statics: Finding an Effective Mix of Traditional and Flipped Classrooms in an Engineering Mechanics Course

“…In an effort to design a teaching technique that combines the benefits of both traditional and flipped classrooms, the blended (or partially flipped) approach has been developed and applied in various disciplines, including electrical engineering [32], and in first-year mechanics courses [33]. These novel methods combine the positive aspects of traditional and flipped classrooms with the implementation of active learning to a certain extent.…”
