AB  -     Enhance Conceptual Understanding by Using a Real-Time Online Class           Response System in Engineering Fundamental CoursesTo engage students, and assess students’ understanding in real-time, the increased use of ClassResponse Systems (CRS), “clickers”, has been seen in many engineering classrooms. Previousresearch has shown that CRS can enhance students’ participation, promote active learning, anddevelop their critical thinking skills. It can also generate either neutral or positive learningoutcome depending on whether it is combined with other cooperative learning strategies. Thedisadvantages of using clickers are the cost added to the students, the administration,management and the high life cycle cost of clickers. To take advantage of the CRS, and avoid itsdisadvantages, the authors have used Poll Everywhere, an online real-time service for classroomresponse using mobile devices or computers. Poll Everywhere enables instructors to create eithermultiple chose question, true/false question, or open-ended question, which can be embeddedinto PowerPoint slides and activated during the class time. Students can use either their mobiledevices or computers to respond. Bar charts of the results can be generated after the question hasbeen completed. This paper presents a collaborative study implemented in a freshman-levelengineering graphics course and a sophomore-level dynamics course at a small private institutionin the Southeast of 4,500 undergraduate students. Both courses are the required courses for allengineering students except electrical and computer engineering students.The purpose of the study is to evaluate how Poll Everywhere can be used to engage students inclass, catch their misconceptions, promote their critical thinking skills, and improve theiracademic performance. Anonymous surveys will be implemented to collect student's feedbackon their attitude towards the use of Poll Everywhere. The test results from both courses will becollected to assess the effectiveness of Poll Everywhere on improving students’ academicperformance.
