The course is offered in large sections, each typicallyhaving more than 100 students. In total, there were about 200 to 350 students in this class in thesemesters that were studied. The cost of the online homework platform and the textbook beforeadopting the ALS in this course was about $80 to $220 depending on the various options offeredby the publisher (i.e. eBook, paperback, hardcover, and etc.). The price has reduced to 0 to $50after switching to the ALS. All mandatory learning materials such as the online homeworkplatform, the pre-class video assignment

Students wereprovided an entire lecture meeting to complete a brainstorming worksheet. Potential projectswere identified from broad categories including challenges facing the growth of manufacturingin the United States, advances in manufacturing technology, the application of manufacturing inspecific interest areas (i.e. biomedical, aerospace, etc), and the description of manufacturingprocesses not already covered by the other course content.Each student was then required to develop a 5-minute TED Talk about their chosen topic

whilemaintaining coverage of core topics. The course serves undergraduate mechanicalengineering students as a core graduation requirement, and also reaches other majorssuch as geological engineering, metallurgical engineering, aerospace engineering, andmore. Typical course composition includes approximately: 3% freshman, 37%sophomore, 25% junior, and 35% senior level students. The one-credit hour course doesnot have any prerequisites, so some students choose to participate early in their academiccareer while others complete the course in their final semesters. Reaching such a diversestudent audience is a challenge, as the student population is not only diverse in terms ofacademic major and level in school, but also maturity, work experience, etc. The
