example, a laboratory on controls typicallyrequires sophisticated and expensive machinery, precise sensing equipment, and computingresources. Simulating these mechanisms in Processing vastly decreases the cost of equipment(students can perform the laboratory assignment on their home computers) and increases thepossibilities for exploration, as the system under control can be perturbed by forces of arbitrarycomplexity, extensive and sophisticated instrumentation is possible, and there exists nomachinery to maintain, wear out or break, removing many stumbling blocks from the laboratoryexperience.As the educational field should adopt the “First, do no harm” principle from medical ethics, anydemonstration or simulation should not mislead the student

assessment 16. Theeffectiveness of the software implementation had been previously validated by an action-research study 17. This study showed instructors considered the software enhanced studentengagement and learning, while students described OASIS as easy to use and helpful inimproving skills and understanding. Given this positive evidence, it was decided to providehigh-school students with their own version of OASIS (School OASIS), the dual aims beingto improve the physics skills of incoming engineering students and to promote theUniversity‟s engineering courses. Additionally, since appropriate ethical requirements havebeen met, the wealth of data collected by School OASIS can be used in judging student-intake quality and for educational

clarify confusing concepts with peers” (Student 11) “Working together in groups was excellent practice for the work world. I learned more thinking about these problems and assignments than I do just working out a problem on paper or reading a textbook.” (Student 12)The perceived weaknesses covered issued such as lack of examples to guide the work on theseprojects, difficulty with Wiki editing, high workload outside the classroom, or ethical issuesrelated to the workload within groups as reflected in the sample answers below. “Some people might work harder than others, and if they just divide the tasks, some might not know what's going on the discussion, and conclusions.” (Student 1) “Could be frustrating at
