Implementation of Blended Learning for a Large Size ­Engineering Mechanics Courseteaching staff have been reported in the literature. A large sized class makes it more difficult forteaching staff to elicit student engagement and to monitor students’ understanding of the coursecontent (Gibbs, 1992; Gibbs & Jenkins, 1992). In addition, a large class size tends to cause adminis-trative burden associated with delivering traditionally invigilated exams, running laboratory classesand marking (Gibbs & Jenkins, 1992; Biggs & Tang, 2011; Vista et al., 2015). University educatorshave been actively developing more effective and flexible delivery models to provide students withaccess to quality learning

The enrollment in this course steadilyincreased (from 3 to 11) in the past 4 to 5 terms, including the term in which this course wasoffered as a “Pilot Course”. The computational facilities although still limited for this course, havealso been upgraded and students now use the faster computers with larger disk quota per student.The number of computer laboratory experiments was increased from three or four to six differentexperiments – 3 experiments based on one-step solver (PAM-QuickStamp©) and the other threebased on incremental solver (DYNAFORM©).

These students have comparable academic credentials to the general engineering studentpopulation.
