checklist is utilized to construct astoryboard template that can be used to formulate video design in both formal and informallearning settings.1. IntroductionVideos are shown to serve as a valuable supplement for traditional in-classroom instruction [1].Well-designed instructional videos provide students with the necessary tools to succeed,especially at their own pace. One of the benefits of instructional videos is that it allows forlearner control. Students can pause, play, and interact with a timeline. Other interactions includehotspots that allows users to accentuate specific content and quizzes to create more in-depthlearning and retention. While research has found that student perceptions of instructor-generatedvideos were generally positive

This effort has considerable implications for the STEM professions, such as engineering, where racial/ethnic minorities, first-generation, women and the socio-economically disadvantaged constitute a disproportionately low percentage of the workforce. As noted in the ASEE yearly report, only 11.4% of bachelor’s degrees in engineering were earned by Hispanic students and only 4.2% were earned by Black/African American students in the 2018 academic year.

This is due to the simplefact that while most of the world's healthcare is consumed in low-resource settings, medicaltechnology is still designed primarily for high-resource settings. These designs assume a level ofinfrastructure that is not a reality in many places and follow expensive, complicated designcriteria that only exacerbate the problem.

researchers seek to understand whether and to what extent thedevelopment of engineering “habits of mind and action” in middle school STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) courses leads to improvements in problem solving abilities,integration of STEM content, and increased interest in engineering. The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013) call for “raising engineering design to the samelevel as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at all levels” (p. 1). Reflecting thisemphasis on engineering as a core idea, recent reforms include proficiency in engineering designas a key component of college and career readiness (Auyang, 2004; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel,2012; Duderstadt, 2008; Kelly, 2014
