blending the courses with the podcasts was beneficial. The surveys alsoindicated that students felt comfortable and empowered to learn with the technology. Whileblending the courses clearly improved the content and student enjoyment of the course, the studydid not address if the inclusion of video influenced student learning. This lack of quantifiabledata relating student learning to the inclusion of video content is prevalent throughoutengineering education literature. For example, in a study by Halyo and Le 5 at HamptonUniversity, the authors incorporated two video lectures into their Introduction to Engineering(freshman level) and Introduction to Control Systems (senior level) courses. For both videos,students were asked to view each video

Statics course. This is the first course in the PurdueUniversity Mechanical Engineering Technology program where students are being exposed to the designexperience. The goal of the project was to expose the students to the full design cycle and to verify that theanalysis methods learned in class really do predict the structure’s behavior. The project was a group effort todesign and build a truss structure given exterior dimension constraints, load point constraints and a providedpack of materials. The student groups were to design the truss to maximize a score determined mainly as afunction of the load to failure divided by the structure’s weight. On a prearranged date, all trusses wereloaded to failure in a tensile test machine. Afterwards, the
