In thispreliminary study, we are investigating students’ perceptions of tactile and virtual learningactivities in an engineering design classroom and the challenges that students face in performingthese types of activities in a team-based approach.Active learning can have many definitions and, in general, refers to various teaching and learningstrategies where students are responsible for their learning by interactive involvement – this isnot a passive lecture approach. With tactile learning, students are able to explore and manipulateobjects and materials, yet today’s students tend to do much of their exploration and objectmanipulation through the use of computer technologies rather than through interactions withphysical products (e.g

To encourage the integration, several solid modelingpackages, such as ProEngineer, SolidWorks, CATIA, and UniGraphics, are academically priced.Most books reacted to this technology by adding a chapter or two on this new technology.

Hands-on projects and experience-based learning have, to some extent,helped students to cohesively conceptualize engineering fundamentals to developholistically acceptable solutions for engineering problems.
