Personalize teaching and learning experiences for improved results
Adaptable and interactive digital resources available through Mastering Engineering create a teaching and learning platform that personalizes every student’s learning experience – giving them the tools they need to succeed and you the insight into their progress.
“Mastering Engineering has been a game-changer for me as a student. It has completely reshaped the way I study for exams. The platform offers a wide range of study resources, including interactive lessons and additional problems. This has helped me to focus on areas where I need improvement, and the video tutorials made difficult concepts easier to understand. Overall, I highly recommend Pearson’s Mastering program to anyone looking for a comprehensive and effective study resource.”

Top tips for using Mastering Engineering
- Pose a variety of questions in live lectures with Learning Catalytics, to help students recall ideas, apply concepts, and develop critical-thinking skills. As students respond, using their own smartphones, tablets or laptops, you’ll get instant insight into how they are developing.
- Identify course content and concepts that might be challenging for your students with auto-graded assignments. With at-a-glance views of potential hurdles for individuals or the whole class, you can adapt your lessons to suit.
- Encourage students to watch Video Solutions that walk them through key engineering problems – they can do this before or after classes and as often as necessary to support their understanding.
- Help them target their study time more effectively with homework sets that give them automatic and tailored feedback – showing them which topics they have mastered and which they should study more.
- Add your own learning outcomes and align them with Pearson Mastering Engineering content. All assignable content has been tagged to ABET Learning Outcomes A, E & K.
