Using Student’s t-test, the students’ mean performance improved at the P = 0.05 significance level.We suggest that in the future a physical lab might be incorporated with the computer simulation(e.g. a game to be played by the students where they physically manipulate game piecesrepresenting vectors). More study is needed to determine the best game to teach vectormathematics to engineering and technology students.
