In Fall 2021, the delivery of first year engineering at the University of Calgary was changed to blended (or “flipped”) delivery mode, with a focus on studio-based active learning experiences in the in-person component of every course (CDIO Standard 8). In this paper, we offer the leadership perspective on what was required to accomplish the complete overhaul of the first year delivery. Lessons learned from our first year are summarized. Recommendations for future iterations of the delivery method are described.
