Student Learning and Perceptions in a Strength of Materials CourseAbstractIn recent years, web-based learning systems have become more available for inclusion inengineering and technology courses. The purposes of these learning systems can vary, but theyare often promoted as enabling and enhancing student learning inside and outside of theclassroom, as well as helping reduce faculty time devoted to labor-intensive tasks such asgrading homework. Although research has been performed to investigate the effectiveness ofsome of these systems, there is a continuing need to evaluate their effects on student learning andperceptions. The study discussed in this paper explores the impact of one of these learningsystems, Mastering

prescribe similar solutions such asbetter emphasis on communications skills and teamwork in classrooms taught with greaterpedagogical skill. It is a bit of a puzzle that such widespread agreement has not resulted in moreeffective and sustainable change and better diffusion and pace of change.This paper takes the position that an important, largely unrecognized, reason behind the failurefor transformation efforts to take hold is that much of the effort—even much of the effort thatclaims to be student centered—remains inexorably faculty centered. Indeed there is a largeliterature of student-centered pedagogy, but the fundamental assumption behind much of it is thatteachers must behave differently to engage the student.
