Electrical Circuits is the fundamental course in electricalengineering for non-Electrical Engineering students. The nature of this course presented uniquechallenges and it was thought that a blended learning approach might help overcome thosechallenges. This study compared the blended learning format to a traditional lecture format. Thelevers used for comparison were: 1) amount of content covered, 2) student performance onexams, and 3) student satisfaction in terms of perceived learning in new format. Details of

One reason may be that the K-12 educational system has failed to engage or exposestudents to technical application or workplace skills either early or extensively enough, orarticulate high school students to 2- or 4-year manufacturing programs [1, 2]. Another reason isthat institutions of higher education (IHEs) often produce too few graduates to fulfill AMindustry demands, and many engineering technology graduates are not gaining the right skill setsfor available positions [3].

, textbookshave been continually updated to include instructions on current technology and moderncomputational tools. Specifically, there is a chapter in most textbooks that address finite elementanalysis (FEA). However, FEA is not commonly incorporated in teaching machine designconcepts. More recently, engineering educators argue that FEA can be applied to betterunderstand the interplay between machine elements, and conversely, the content of machinedesign can be utilized to enhance students’ FEA skills [3]. To this end, significant efforts havebeen made in incorporating FEA-based simulations into teaching solid mechanics and machinedesign concepts [3-5]. However, the need for increasing the FEA content of engineeringprograms has been indicated by

Indeed, weassert that the blackboard is an essential and irreplaceable tool for the effective conduct of engineering classes. Inthis ma of high-technology multi-media teaching tools, the old-fashioned blackboard is often scorned or, at best,overlooked. Yet, having tried most of the modern electronic alternatives, we invariably return to the oldstandard. As a medium for presenting information, the blackboard is far superior to the projector screen orcomputer monitor, in the following significant respects: . An instructor can write on a blackboard
