the fatigue experiments are destructive since weneed to apply cyclic loading until the failure of the structure. Also, fatigue experiments may takea long time since, in some cases, we need to apply a very large number of cycles in order tocause a fracture in the specimen. Both of these issues (i.e., cost and time) are not an issue in VLssince a) it is free for students to run as many experiments as they desire and b) theaforementioned “fast-forwarding” button allows students to conduct all experiments within amatter of seconds. Thus, in the case of the fatigue lab, we can easily plot the S-N curve based onthe VL results, whereas doing so based on the hands-on experiments alone is difficult.6.

For example, they have to ask what open-endedproblems they face in their company and its problem-solving process.Similarly, they have to ask professionals about their decision-making process and compare it with thosetaught in the class. After their meetings, they report what they found on a discussion board, andstudents must reply. Students also have to engage in problem-finding through an iterative process.
