In particular, Rogers [1] summarizes the outcome of the ABET and ASEE studies.The ABET study found that there were inadequate levels of preparation for graduates in problemsolving, communicating and working in teams, and understanding the culture in which they work.Furthermore, the ASEE study noted inadequacy in knowledge, skills, and abilities in engineeringpractice for graduates in areas such as project management, economics and business, teamwork,decision-making, and critical thinking.

In this paper, we address how the use ofdigital twin technology in laboratory simulation environments affords studentsauthentic learning experiences, i.e., experiences that reflect what a learner isexpected to encounter in the real-world. The immediate feedback feature, enabledby the connection of the digital twin to the physical twin, provides
