The change of learning approach due to Covid 19 from face to face to online distance or blended learning required knowing technology tools in the education. Distance learning is a technique of giving instruction using online tools and technology. Distance learning depends on information and communication technologies to distribute the course materials and engage with students. The main goal of remote delivery is to promote communication between students, allowing for interaction and knowledge sharing at any time. In that it can still support conventional learning tools, remote delivery is also compatible with other instructional strategies and technology of prior learning. However blended learning is the approach that combine face to face and online learning. Therefore, this paper aims to assess the effect of online distance learning or blended learning versus face-to-face learning for fluid mechanics’ course. The study shows that ODL or blended learning can be a useful teaching strategy for the Fluid Mechanics course because the cognitive domain can still be reached. Additionally, when comparing ODL or blended learning to face-to-face learning, PO attainments are not affected much for both teaching approach. The percentage of failure rate also decrease during ODL, or blended learning semester compared to face-to-face semester.
