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.

However, there is a need toextend those efforts to leverage pedagogical innovations and to identify and develop leaders. Theauthors are working on this aspect (of developing leaders) at some Indian engineeringinstitutions and, the proposed framework is based on their experience. While the individual elements of the framework have been used at various institutions, itsfull implementation has not yet been completed to assess ultimate benefits.
