The foundry industry must shift gears tohelp address shortages regarding a trained/educated workforce and improving metal castingeducation is an answer.The pandemic has changed our world where smart and resilient strategies are needed ineducation. Social distancing norms required certain university courses to be moved onto distancelearning platforms, where faculty were required to adapt quickly to new technology, newteaching methods, and techniques. Engineering courses required modification where instructorsand professors had to find innovative ways to blend theory and practice for technical subjects.The authors aimed to develop such an introductory Metal Casting course

As mentioned in section 3,only the second year implementation regularly required students to watch pre-recorded onlinelecture videos. Surprisingly, only about half of the class agreed on the benefit of the hybrid (orpartially) flipped lecture approach. Although the first year respondents were only informed andnot really instructed to watch these pre-recorded lectures, 100% of students agreed at some levelon the benefit of the hybrid approach, which was much less emphasized and experienced in thisyear.

However, college students studying engineering in the United Statesexhibit a decline in concern for public welfare over the course of their education [3] as well as atendency to orient to micro-ethical issues over macro-ethical issues [4].
