’ recall of technical content and their use of thesevideos. In addition, we will discuss how the students interacted with these online modules asassessed by student surveys and focus groups. Finally we will include the benefits and costsfrom the faculty and curriculum perspective. This will allow us to make suggestions forapplying this technique to environmental engineering design courses and to other engineeringdisciplines.Materials and MethodsDescription of Design CourseThe study took place at a large, mid-Atlantic research-oriented university. Sixteen students, allseniors in Civil Engineering, were enrolled in the environmental engineering design courseduring Fall 2013. The students were asked to design a water treatment system to remediate
