“…Multimedia approaches have been proved to have the potential to create a high-quality learning environment. Along with the rapid advances in technology, it becomes easier for instructors to access and apply multimedia to assist their teaching of engineering topics, and cases are well documented such as nanotechnology (Wishart & Blease, 1999), biotechnology engineering (Mutharasan, Magee, Wheatley, & Lee, 1997), circuit and electronic engineering (Maby, Carlson, Connor, Jennings, & Schoch, 1997;Schodorf, Yoder, & McClellan, 1996;Giannotti & Galletti, 1996;Höhne & Henkel, 2004;Nortcliffe & Middleton, 2008;Hunt, Howard, Kirk, Ash, & Tyrrell, , 2001), computer and information science, mechanical engineering, civil engineering (Kartam & Al-Reshaid, 2002), manufacturing education (Raju, Sankarz, & Xue, 2004), mechatronics (Kikuchi & Kenjo, 1996), mathematical education (Bringslid, 1999), and environmental engineering (Badran, 1995;Boman & Olsson, 1996). The advent of multimedia with hypertext, interactive simulations, and animation systems has forged an effective information delivery environment with the power of creating interactive laboratories and classrooms (Bengu & Swart, 1996).…”

“…Researchers have applied multimedia in educational contexts and found that it enabled them to choose from a range of media elements to convey a particular message (Cairncross & Mannion, 1999). The various forms of multimedia, such as videotapes (Mutharasan et al, 1997), multimedia materials on CD-ROM (Boman & Olsson, 1996), digital audio streams (Nortcliffe & Middleton, 2008), multimedia instructional software (Kikuchi & Kenjo, 1996;Schodorf, Yoder, & McClellan, 1996), web-based multimedia materials (Kartam & Al-Reshaid, 2002;Raju, Sankarz, & Xue, 2004;Bringslid, 1999;Badran, 1995), multimedia courseware (Giannotti & Galletti, 1996), and even the programmable multimedia systems (Höhne & Henkel, 2004), can meet different needs in practice. Previous studies have suggested that multimedia-assisted instruction can help teachers construct a coherent mental representation from presented materials (Mayer, 2001;Mutharasan et al, 1997), illustrate spatial relationships (Sutcliffe & Faraday, 1994), and present information appropriately for different kinds of learners (Cairncross & Mannion, 1999).…”

It can also increase the depth of students' learning of specific issues (Höhne & Henkel, 2004;Cairncross & Mannion, 1999;Yueh & Sheen, 2009), and engage students in a way that static material does not (Cairncross & Mannion, 1999). Accompanied with good course design, it can also allow the instructor to quickly assess the effectiveness of a particular presentation (Maby et al, 1997).…”

This study applied multimedia in a general engineering and technology course in Taiwan and evaluated the effectiveness of multimedia-assisted instruction and learning. The course presented trends in technological development and the achievements of Taiwanese industries and research institutes from a historical perspective, and overviewed the technology industries and industrial transformation development in Taiwan. The course units adopted multimedia to support class teaching and student learning, and a survey was conducted to collect students’ attitudes and perception toward multimedia-assisted instruction and learning in the course. Research data were collected from 45 male and 9 female students with varied academic and cultural backgrounds. Results showed that multimedia videos help raise students’ awareness of learning issues, improve their understanding of content, and increase the depth of their learning. Almost all students liked the approach of using multimedia to assist teaching and learning, preferring this approach over traditional lecture-based instruction. They also would recommend this course to their peers. This study also found that the degree of students’ engagement caused variance in the students’ perception of multimedia helpfulness in assisting their learning. Finally, this study further proposes suggestions in both design and research on applications of multimedia-enhanced learning in engineering and technology education.

This paper presents the development of a multimedia package to help students in the learning of engineering measurements. The stimulus for developing the computer-aided educational tool derives from the continuing need for engineers to understand and apply mathematical models in the design of measurement systems. Besides providing fundamental background in the theory of engineering measurements, the main features of the computer-aided tool include the integration of multimedia with Matlab and Microsoft Excel to allow students to conceptualize the relationship between abstract mathematical models to practical situations. The integration not only provides interactively facilities to engage students in the exploration of signals and measurement system behaviors, but also offers random dynamic quizzes that could automatically change the question parameter and generate the correct answer. The considerations and discussions in this paper may be useful for the advancement of computer-aided instructional tools in other subject areas. ß

“…To date, a limited amount of research has been done that shows that multimedia tools can greatly enhance the engineering education process. For example, a 2004 European publication demonstrated the benefits of various educational modules and teletutorial processes on student comprehension in engineering design courses (5). In addition, several studies have investigated the effectiveness of remote laboratories to facilitate student learning of complex processes through Internet-based inter active activities (6,7).…”

Construction education has long been challenged with integrating meaningful classroom education activities with field internships. This paper describes a case study in which educational material was developed with use of time-lapse photography collected by student-deployed cameras on a large, fast-moving construction project. Several distinct construction activities were identified for time-lapse documentation, and corresponding engineering material quantities were computed to show the progression of work. These quantitative estimates were combined with the time-lapse footage in a series of educational video modules, which will be disseminated and archived online for long-term access by students and the public. The video modules were designed to educate students on the various steps involved in a major roadway rehabilitation project and provide them with a more relatable context for the various bid item quantities that they would encounter in their work as student interns and professional engineers. These methods can also be scaled across a variety of educational settings for different types of horizontal and vertical construction projects and thus, result in a more targeted and effective student learning experience.
