andsuccess is commonly measured using exams scores or letter grades at the end of the semester.In an undergraduate engineering curriculum, the many different types of classes pose challengesand difficulties for students. To achieve a letter grade B or better, some courses are moredemanding and require more effort than the other courses. For instance, Fluid Mechanics isconsidered one of the conceptually challenging classes at the California State University, LongBeach (CSULB). Students are challenged to integrate knowledge from their prerequisite classes(math and statics) to understand the Fluid mechanics concepts and principals. Specific topicscovered in the course include Fluid Statics, Fluid Kinematics, Pressure Variation in MovingFluids

, both of which can be voted upor down by their peers.A.2 Project Method and OutcomeThe project has two main outcomes. First, an online Interactive tutorial integrated with theResource Management Class Tool used at our institution (canvas). Second, a forum with rankingsystem to enhance responses. Both tools are implemented in a way that can be reused fordifferent classes and easily adapted to their content.We integrated as much as possible all tools created for the project into Canvas/Caminominimizing the number of platforms students needed to use. In the first week of classes, studentsof the numerical analysis class where instructed to take an online interactive tutorial (Figure 1),to check student Matlab preparation. As can be seen in Fig 2
