摘要：This paper will discuss the importance of using videos in the classroom and the significance of adding diversity to teaching and learning, particularly in engineering and technology. Increasing diversity is a common goal seen in many institutions, including the Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University. Beginning in Fall 2017, instructors from the Bachelor of Technology program, in the School of Engineering Practice and Technology (SEPT) will integrate recorded video interviews of diverse professionals into the classroom, hopefully putting the goal more within reach. These videos will depict professionals in engineering fields who identify as young, female or visible minorities. In these interviews, the participants will discuss a variety of topics including: the importance of communication skills in a professional environment; the advantages of participating in co-op programs; life after graduation; as well as other topical issues. In addition to the proven benefits of learning through videos, students will hear from various professionals of different backgrounds thereby adding diversity to the engineering classroom.
