Abstract

Industrial/Engineering training act as a supportive role in developing students' working skills. However, traditional training only involves face-to-face learning environments. Therefore, enforcing learning among students with different learning speed would be difficult. In this work-in-progress paper, we proposed adopting the Flipped Classroom approach to an engineering training course (Internet of Things module). Students can have a flexible laboratory schedule in exploring on acquired technical skills. For streamlining the learning process, the 'First Principles of Instruction' framework had been used for guiding the design of learning activities. Ways of adopting the framework for learning activity design had been described in details.
