students with practical andsometimes quite authentic experiences of what it means to be a disciplinary participant. One ofthose important knowledge practices is scientific documentation or keeping a lab notebook. Labnotebooks perform a number of key functions. They at once provide a record of a scientist’s orengineer’s work, serve as an important reference for other scientific genres, e.g., future reportsand/or articles, and perform as a kind of journal that enables questioning presuppositions,considering new approaches, and generating new ideas.Given the importance of notebooks, there is surprisingly little scholarship on how to teach theiruse.

The first motivation for this change was to horizontally align labexperiences with required courses in mechanics and thermal sciences so that students’ experien-tial learning serves not only to build their experimentation skills but also to help them understandfoundational principles. The need for better connection originated from the faculty teaching therequired courses. They felt students needed more tangible experience with the concepts they werelearning.

More andmore engineering programs are placing greater emphasis on the importance of hands-onexperience offered by laboratory courses. Compared to the efforts and resources invested inpurchasing expensive state-of-the-art lab equipment and developing innovative lab modules,little attention is paid to assessing student learning and reflecting on the teaching methods in labcourses. Without careful design and assessment, instructors are more likely to push students intobusy work, without achieving real learning and

To address these challenges, we augment the (virtual) class by virtual laboratory sessionsin order to reinforce student understanding of the physics and operation of select NDEtechniques (ET and UT). Simulation-based virtual laboratories have long been used to increaselearning in engineering courses. For example, Kukreti et al.

A parallel curriculum addressing these non-scientific/technical skills isusually a strong contributor towards these goals. Another tool generally more directly controlledby science/engineering faculty is using courses in the discipline, especially laboratory courses, toemphasize writing components and/or presentation skills. Lab reports can serve as a very goodtool to sharpen writing skills or, more extensively, the skills needed to produce a coherent, wellthought, well-written scientific paper or technical report.A more comprehensive approach to different paths and philosophies for the teaching of writingskills and its balance can be found in the
