in engineering technology apply the principles of physics andmathematics, among others, to practical technical problems. Since engineering relies on theapplication of mathematics and science to development of useful products or technologies, it isengineering that turns ideas into reality. At the same time, the practical needs met by engineeringtechnology stimulate further development of physics and mathematics. Therefore, engineeringtechnology, physics and mathematics are interconnected and work in unison.Mathematics, being one of the foundations of engineering, has, on the other hand, always beenone of the largest stumbling blocks, causing first-year students to drop out of engineeringprograms1.

The resultsof the study will be discussed in detail along with a description of how the authors have used thevideo tutorials for transitioning the traditional engineering technology courses to hybrid or onlinecourses.Introduction and BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that students learn better with hands-on laboratory activities. In thebook “Learning Science and the Science of Learning,” Michael. P. Clough states that [1], “beforeaddressing the role of laboratory experiences, where we wish to take students must first bearticulated”. For example, is the purpose of the laboratory exercise to develop a deep and long-lasting understanding of concepts or developing skills for effective science inquiry? However,even if the labs are

Faculty members from the College of Engineering andScience have teamed up with the College of Education to develop engaging projects aimed atjunior high and high school students. These projects utilize K’Nex bridges kits as a means forproviding a hands-on learning environment.

These courses arefoundational for all civil engineering students but, up to that point, had only been offered using traditionaltextbooks and lecture-based instruction. Flipping the classroom was driven by a desire to acknowledgewhat is known about active learning to push the courses to better fit today’s engineering needs. The resultof flipping the classroom had an effect far beyond simply switching the use of the student’s time insideand outside of class. The traditional approach to course delivery falls short on engag ing the students andin understanding where students struggle and what they know. To address the first two issues, the flippedclassroom approach was selected and executed across all three
