Video resources can accelerate the process of learningfundamental skills, and provide the opportunity to review basic material for students who alreadyhave experience.Videos are an effective educational tool that amplify the learning experience for students. Usedproperly, multimedia instruction can gives students an opportunity to start the learning processbefore they step into a structured classroom or laboratory environment. This method can alsoeasily bring experts or instructors who are in other states or countries into the classroomenvironment.

Part of the reason for this is students’ lack of experience with real manufacturingenvironments. As a result, many educators of manufacturing system courses share the sameviewpoint as educators in other fields of engineering, i.e., in order to prepare students forindustry and/or advanced studies in engineering, it is necessary to employ techniques that assistthem with bridging the gap between engineering theory and practice1-6.

A traditional engineering education will incorporate lectures, a fewproofs, a small number of hands on laboratories that relate to some of the topics being discussed,and are concluded with a capstone course that should serve as the culmination of all othercoursework and demonstrate the ability to follow the engineering design process. However, dueto the low number of retention (around 62 percent for all STEM majors1), and less than 5 percentof the nationally awarded degrees in engineering2, it is possible that the minimum engineeringcurriculum may not be enough to successfully graduate engineers.
