of the Virtual ChemLab have had a track record of successful use of virtuallaboratory exercises to improve student learning in inorganic chemistry. VirtualChemLab creators emphasize ease of use and connectivity of theory to application assuccessful traits in their work.  Here, we present results from a pilot study performed in Fluid Mechanics, a requiredthird-year course in Civil and Environmental Engineering at a large mid-Atlantic researchuniversity. Our pilot study included the development and implementation of two virtuallabs in a class of 78 students. Virtual labs were delivered via ANGEL, an interactiveonline course management system similar to Blackboard. The goals of this project were(1
