N2 - Internet-based education is rapidly gaining popularity due to its availability, flexibility, accessibility, and cost effectiveness. In this research, the internet was used as an effective tool to enhance the teaching of the "Engineering Economy" course GENG315 at the foundation level in the college at a federal university in UAE. It is noticed that numerous related course material is available online as "YouTube" videos. Therefore, a carefully selected material was nominated and distributed to students during the course. A questionnaire survey was then conducted to analyze the impact of the experiment that reflects the positive aspects of video-based learning.
