Abstract | Educating students who aspire to be engineers and technologists in the field of Public Health Engineering is a challenge as it encompasses a diverse technical content demanding an interdisciplinary knowledge encompassing chemistry and microbiology. Students find it hard to visualize the processes that occur within the treatment systems for successfully designing the components. This difficulty is even more complicated especially when the courses are offered at distance mode where students have to rely solely on the course materials to gain in-depth understanding. This paper presents successful design and development of multimedia resources such as animations for Public Health Engineering course which is perceived to be challenging by civil and environmental engineering undergraduates. The preliminary evaluation of the revitalized course indicates that the overall performance of the students increased by 12.1% in 2009 compared to 2008 as a result of enhancement. |
