and other media mixed with recordings about using engineering tools and interactive teaching
platforms like Matlab, Labview, PhET and Algodoo. He investigated a number of internet
marketing technologies that appear applicable for developing educational content and suited for
online delivery.
Figure 2 provides

and considerations in

discussed in the
introduction and
background section.
Next, a description
of the traditional
ground teaching
philosophy is
discussed to form
the department’s
online teaching
philosophy. Figure
1 also shows what
the rest of the paper describes. Relevant and past experiments are summarized about developing
engaging content as well as a number of teaching innovations that was experienced during the
last several years. The paper also describes how to leverage the traditional and ground teaching
style where full-time engineering faculty gained valuable experience in developing content
appropriate for online delivery. Links to YouTube videos created by the engineering faculty
with hyperlinked text or images serve as examples in an attempt to provide a more interactive
learning experience for the student. Some videos by Professor Santiago were created leveraging
from software coming from the internet marketing niche and combined with green-screen
techniques. Due to space limitations, only selected internet marketing tools and video creation
techniques are highlighted as examples based on the department’s experience.
Typical engineering courses taught at the CTU Colorado Springs ground campus are two to three
hours long meeting twice a week. The teaching pedagogy uses a student-centered approach
where they take active participation in their learning as opposed to passive one-hour instructor
lectures in class.
Traditional Ground Teaching Philosophy
For example, one approach of instruction involving engineering problems a number of analytical
concepts, such as circuit analysis or signals and systems involves the following steps:
Step 1. Introduce and present a topic for 5 minutes. Motivate why this topic is important
and relevant to the course keeping it short and sweet. Also show how information will
benefit them or tell a relevant war story based on industry experience.
Step 2. Solve an example engineering and analytical problem. This usually takes 5 to 15
minutes depending on the complexity of the problem
