surprising that the retention rate of undergraduateengineering programs can be adversely affected. As a result, a Statics instructor may facesubstantial pressure (whether real or perceived) to minimize the attrition rate yet still preparestudents for subsequent higher-level engineering coursework.Various pedagogical approaches to teaching mechanics have been attempted with the intent ofimproving student success. Some approaches include supplemental instruction [2], interactivetutoring [3], recitations [4], virtual laboratories [5], online courseware [6], and gaming [7]. It isimportant to concede that even the most well-intentioned and passionate instructors may nothave access to the resources to implement these unique approaches. Thus, traditional

YouTube is a video sharing website that can provide free educational tutorials and instructions on technical subject matter, where students can observe practical human-machine interaction to prepare for lectures and increase overall course performance on exams, assignments, and laboratory projects. Our goal was to compare the overall performance as well as the level of active class participation between two groups of the same computer networking course. We found that the group that used YouTube videos for pre-lecture preparation, consisting of 83 students, scored approximately 3% higher on exams but 5

However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the use of team-basedactivities during lecture sessions as well.ConclusionsThis work-in-progress study reveals that ASMT have some similarities with their engineeringcounterparts after our results were compared to those of AE and BE students in a previouslyreported study. However, a stronger focus on relationships and building connections with otherswas observed for ASMT students.
