PRODUCING PERSONAL MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS TO ENHANCE ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Universities have started to equip their classrooms and seminar rooms with multimedia equipment such as televisions, video players, computers and multimedia projectors. Multimedia presentations stored in VHS tapes, CDs, or DVDs, are available commercially, but they are expensive and usually not designed for a specific engineering subject. To maximize the use of this technology in the teaching and learning process, multimedia presentations about engineering must be developed. This paper presents the experience of the author in producing photo slide shows and video presentations using a digital video editing software. These multimedia presentations, if designed properly, can be integrated in the curriculum to enhance the delivery of information and knowledge in engineering schools
