ABSTRACT: Most engineering courses require some level of work to be done by students using internet. A vast
majority of material taught in classes is available online. Theoretically, a student could learn almost
everything they want from the online resources. In this research, a comparative study is
done between students learning and understanding when some basic aerospace concepts are
taught in a traditional lecture based classroom versus when students are told to look for the same
material on the internet. The results indicate that, although all the material taught in the classroom
is available on the internet, students do not perform better when they exclusively use internet
for learning. However a traditional lecture based class coupled with internet resources yields
the favourable results.
