AB  - Teaching at the college level presents challenges due to the ease with which students can access information online. Mechanical engineering professors face the daunting task of imparting essential skills and knowledge while ensuring students remain engaged. They must employ creative teaching methods that captivate their audience to achieve this. Their primary objectives include delivering engineering concepts, facilitating problem-solving skills, and fostering experimental learning through practical experiments. Educators across all levels have long been striving to innovate their teaching methodologies to enhance the learning experience. The advent of new virtual and technical instructional tools has sparked a notable surge in research into innovative teaching approaches. The flipped classroom concept has emerged as collaborative learning; unlike the conventional classroom, in a flipped classroom, students view prerecorded lecture videos or read teaching materials before attending class. This approach transforms the classroom into one where students actively work through problems, delve deeper into concepts, and participate in collaborative learning experiences. The mechanical engineering technology students, primarily sophomores, were introduced to an interactive learning method for their engineering materials course. The aim was to boost classroom engagement and learning. Teaching materials like PowerPoint presentations and videos were shared with the students before class. They were required to take quizzes based on these materials prior to attending class. During the class, there was a quick review session where students could ask questions about the material posted, and then students were asked questions related to the material. Sometimes, they worked in small groups, exchanging questions and answers with other groups. This paper discusses the students' class engagement and performance on quizzes, tests, and lab assignments for 4-5 years.
