The ME 337C Introduction to Nuclear Power Systems course is offered every Fall Semester at The University of Texas at Austin. This course is an introduction to nuclear engineering and covers topics ranging from nuclear cross-sections to the diffusion equation. All lectures for this course are digitally recorded and available on the course web site for viewing. A few students participate in this course each year via distance learning. As part of this course, an experiment was conducted to investigate the utility of podcasting lectures. Since the lectures for this course are already digitally recorded, it was a simple effort to convert the video files to a format suitable for podcasting. The podcasting files were placed on the course website for download by the students in the course. The students in the course could use their own portable media player (i.e., an Apple iPod), or sign one out from the course instructor. Students viewed lectures via podcast and then filled out an on-line survey. The results of this survey are presented and discussed within this paper.
