Abstract

In this paper, Media Based Instruction technique is used to enhance student understanding of engineering fundamentals. It also seeks to examine the effects of technology based instruction in order to complement conventional instruction. This progress as well as lessons learned in the first two semesters of Media Based Instruction in introductory engineering courses namely Circuits, Electronics, and C++ for digital computation is evaluated and some statistics are offered. Pilot study: A concluding section assesses the advantages of complementing conventional instruction with Media Based Instruction.
