led to multimediacourse resources supplanting paper books for some engineering courses. Additionally, very littleinformation is available to answer a fundamental question about a textbook’s utility or necessity,namely how many students read their textbooks for engineering courses or any college course?Over more than four decades research shows a majority of students ignore textbook reading [1-6].For example, one study used pop quizzes to measure reading compliance and observed decreasefrom 80% in the early 1980s to about 20% between 1993 and 1997, which precedes the availabilityof handheld electronic devices [5]. While reading quizzes offer one incentive to read a textbookbefore class, web-based technologies can quickly and easily tracks

. Currently,Bachelor’s degrees awarded in mechanical engineering have increased by 67% between 2004 to2014 (14,182 in 2004 to 23,675 in 2014). In contrast, the number of full-time faculty onlyincreased by 23% from 2001 to 2011 at US Universities2. A longstanding and practical approachto accommodate larger number of students with decreasing faculty is to increase class sizeswhich typically favor traditional lecturing over active learning techniques. Active learning improves examination performance and reduces failure rate in meta-analyses across science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses whencompared to traditional lecture styles2. Active learning in large studies consists of many differenttypes of interventions including
aspects involved in the design process. Figure 1 shows how some of the systems are integrated in the halls of the PKI.
