Fields, especially in the sciencesand engineering, are growing and maturing fed by improved tools for communication andresearch. The ever changing landscape of technology within and outside of the classroom and itsimpact on student culture makes the challenge of discovery a dynamic one. However, discoveryalone may not be the greatest challenge. Finding an effective new pedagogy with a proven recordof advances in student efficacy and efficiency while challenging may be easier than establishingwidespread adoption of such methods in academia.The resistance to a change in pedagogy is both institutional and

The survey results reflected the growth of students’ computer knowledge andthe acceptance of new technology application to today’s classes.It is believed that with continuously improving instructional videos, assessment methods, use ofup-to-date technology, hybrid design in the course will be accepted by more students, andprovide a more effective way of self-learning and interactive laboratory practice experience ascompared to traditional classroom style.References[1] A.
