student learning improved dramatically as a result ofparticipating in this laboratory experience.Review of Previous WorkAs explained by Feisel and Rosa4 there is knowledge that must be conveyed when educating astudent in engineering that can only be gained from laboratory experience. Though once anintegral part of engineering education in the early 19th century, the focus has shifted to a morelecture-based curriculum mainly because of budget cuts and new technology. The authors statethat the continually increasing complexity of technology that continues to drive up costs;meaning many engineering department budgets aren’t able to meet the necessary requirements ofa modern laboratory. While the emphasis on laboratories in engineering curricula has

longer enough to ensure success of the majority ofstudents in the educational environment today. Professors must evaluate techniques and methodsthat can assist in meeting the multiple learning styles of the students in their classes. For thestudent, transformation includes reflection, practice, and creating personal relevancy andmeaning in the learning process. This is the framework of this pilot study on an onlineEngineering Statics class.Literature ReviewOnline courses were created and deployed in numerous fields throughout the 1990s and 2000s.Online engineering courses lagged behind because of the difficulty of converting face-to-facemathematics and science courses to an online format.1 The technology was not advanced enoughto deploy these
