AB  - This work in progress paper outlines a project aimed at increasing the mastery of prerequisite material in mechanical engineering (ME) courses. One reason for the failure in an engineering course is a weak foundation of the students' prerequisite knowledge. Although students have completed the prerequisite courses, they may not have mastered or cannot recall the necessary subject matter. Even though most instructors spend at least a week of the semester on review of prerequisite material, students often times do not spend an adequate amount of time outside of class reviewing the material. This lack of perquisite knowledge leads them to start learning new material on a weak foundation. As the semester progresses and the material builds, these students are more likely to fall further behind, which can place them in jeopardy of failing the class. 

This project seeks to improve students' recall and mastery of prerequisite knowledge and ultimately decrease failure rates, by creating an accessible library of short videos on various ME prerequisite topics. The review videos are currently being implemented in 3 ME courses (1 required undergraduate course, 1 undergraduate technical elective, and 1 graduate level course) in Spring 2019. Preliminary results, including view counts and view duration, from the first week of the semester are presented. Students’ learning will be assessed through direct and indirect assessment at the end of the semester in May 2019. Additionally, the futures phases of the project are outlined.
