Authors

This study examines the integration and utilization of media technologies within engineering education in Palestine, focusing on how media tools impact student learning, engagement, and the overall quality of engineering instruction. Using a mixed‑methods approach combining surveys of students and faculty with qualitative interviews, the research evaluates the extent to which multimedia, virtual classrooms, and other media‑supported pedagogies contribute to learners’ academic performance, conceptual understanding, and problem‑solving skills. Results indicate a positive correlation between the strategic use of media tools and improvements in educational outcomes, especially when media integration complements traditional classroom instruction and supports interactive learning environments. Challenges identified include limited infrastructure, varying levels of instructor media literacy, and inconsistent access to digital resources. The study recommends institutional support for faculty training in media pedagogy, expanded technological infrastructure, and curriculum redesign to embed media‑enhanced learning across engineering courses, thereby strengthening instructional effectiveness and student achievement in Palestinian engineering programs.
