Abstract

Active involvement and participation of students in Engineering courses in Higher Education are essential to ensure students get the knowledge and skills needed. In this paper, we examine how the integration of Robert Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction and constructivist principles in course design enhances instructional strategies, promotes a deeper understanding of concepts, and improves information retention among learners. A dynamic mixed modality course delivery method was used to redesign a Senior-level Engineering course. This modality provided an adaptable, flexible, and effective online learning environment to learners. Students' performance is collected and compared to the performance of students before improvement for the same course. Analysis shows that performance increased by 19.3%. And the number of students that score less than 70% or less in the final exam is reduced by 69.6%. Students' feedback is also collected, and results indicate that students are more engaged and delighted with the learning experience.
