This pilot study examines how different video-materials on teaching specific programming topics impact the learning outcomes of undergraduate engineering students. The study included 38 participants who took pre-tests and post-tests for two distinct topics, resulting in 76 evaluations. Analysis using a paired two sample t test demonstrated an improvement in performance scores, indicating that students greatly benefited from engaging with video-materials. The influence of the topic was evident as performance scores surpassed those associated with usage. It suggests that the instructional content and type of material used play significant roles in achieving improved learning outcomes. The positive t statistic further supports that these improvements are not coincidences that highlight the effectiveness of the video materials and topics in enhancing results. These findings emphasize the need to reconsider video material and topic selection processes in undergraduate engineering education to recognize their roles in optimizing student performance. This study supports the foundation for research on learning methodologies with a goal to establish evidence based practices for teaching strategies within engineering disciplines.
