Craig Johnson, Ph.D., P.E., is a professor at Central Washington University teaching materials courses and managing their foundry. He coordinates both the Mechanical Engineering Technology and Industrial Technology Cast Metals programs.
Mr. Morken is a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Central Washington University. With more than ten years experience as an educator Mr. Morken has been immersed in educational technology relevant issues. Due to the escalating demands placed on instructors he is constantly looking for more efficient methods of student interaction for the improvement of student learning through the aid of technological tools.
Asynchronous Use of Engineering (Materials) Education VideosAbstractEngineering education is dynamic and increasingly asynchronous. An observation that studentshad such different levels of knowledge and skills as they progressed through our programs, ledthe authors to use audio/visual media as an ameliorating intervention.One specific need reflected the ignorance of our majority component of ‘transfer’ students in ourprograms. Some students simply did not have familiarity with the equipment at our facility (asopposed to their previous experiences elsewhere). In this study, the authors target one skillrelated to metallurgy (welding band saw blades).There were two interesting aspects to this effort. The first involves the creation of audio/visualcontent because of the many forms (resolution), lengths (venues), and content (audience). Thesecond aspect of interest was the effectiveness of the effort. This was primarily measured inaccess (viewing ‘hits’ in the different venues). Some observations included a surprising amountof external access (not connected with the university).
