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

This project aimed at utilizing an Internet of Things (IoT)- based platform to measure these quantities remotely. In this system, oil temperature, oil level and oil permittivity are measured with custom transducers. This information is then collected and sent to a remote server that can be accessed from any computer or smart phone. This real-time information could reveal problems within a transformer or elsewhere in the power system, creating a more precise way to dispatch system maintenance. SE

thatstudents break away from past associations to integrate into a university, it does not account forchallenges that arise for some in integrating into a different culture entirely [6]. Some studies have indicated institutional barriers to the success of Black and Latino malestudents in engineering and related fields [7]. Long et al., in studying this topic, analyzedinterviews with nearly 50 Black and Latino collegians to better understand barriers that mightnegatively impact their maximization of their success, identifying inadequate advising; poorquality teaching; limited course offerings; and insufficient financial aid as primary barriers. Thepaper further included recommendations for faculty, staff and administrators who are interested

tacticoutlined, however, points towards the most extreme consideration: the concept of eliminating thecost of textbooks in courses altogether. This concept has been promulgated recently in themovement to Open Educational Resources, or OER. While these are often considered to be“free” materials, UNESCO defines OER in a more expository manner as “teaching, learning andresearch materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain orhave been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation andredistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.” [15] This definition is intended to speakmore to the availability of materials rather than their quality; i.e. the goal is to find ways to widenthe
