American Society for Engineering Education, 2014Workflow for the development of online content for a hybrid learning courseIntroductionHybrid learning, or blended learning (an alternative terminology with similar meaning), isintended to combine the best features from a traditional face-to-face learning environment withthe added benefits that can be obtained by using a technology-based learning environment 1.Typically hybrid learning courses include e-learning activities such as online lectures, onlinequizzes, synchronous or asynchronous discussions, and group work sessions 3. Hybrid learning isan emerging concept which, when executed correctly, has been proven to increase efficiency forthe institution and learning for the students 2. An early

Among external participants, seven are international exchangestudents from three Brazilian universities. During the 10-week summer program, they wereassigned to 31 projects supervised by 10 engineering faculty and 18 postdoc/graduate studentmentors. In addition to their individual projects, REU students were engaged in group activitiesincluding a group design project, research lab tours, weekly seminars, outreach and

Manufacturing using groupcells, or cellular manufacturing, would reduce setup time, engineering cost, inventory, productdevelopment time, and purchasing time while simplifying process planning and procurement 1,2.A typical manufacturing laboratory is equipped with rows of identical machines, where studentslearn in sequence from one type of machine to another. Although students would repeat ademonstration and interact with their instructor, they rarely interact among themselves and oftenmiss the link among different processes.
