%X A flipped classroom has introduced a new way of learning where students need to familiarize with the content before the in-class session so that more time would be allocated for class activities and face-to-face engagement with the lecturer. In this study, an implementation of a partially flipped classroom for over one semester of enrolment of Transport Phenomena course has been conducted to look at how far the flipped classroom is effective in helping the students to improve their results. Learning materials such as videos, notes, and postcards are given to students before the commencement of the class. Meanwhile, group activities such as informal cooperative learning activities, i.e. think-pair-share, Intermittent focused discussion, etc. were also implemented during the class. The results showed improved marks for test, assignment, and quiz obtained by students as a comparison before implementation of a flipped classroom. For instance, 61  of the students improved in their test marks, 70 improved in the assignment, and, 31  improved in the quiz. Students were also improved in their communication skill and team work amongst them. In a nutshell, a flipped classroom method can help students in enhancing their way of learning, and they will eventually become independent learners which is one of the primary attributes of UTP graduates. © 2017 IEEE.
