This study should have broad-based applicationsfor other educators within the domains of SMET (Science, Math, Engineering, and Technology)education, particularly those interested in integrated curricula.I. IntroductionThe primary purpose of teaching is to facilitate student learning. However, many traditionalteaching methods have clearly been shown to encourage passive rather than active learning 1. Inaddition, traditional instructional methods have proven inadequate in promoting deep learningand long-term retention of important concepts. Students in traditional classrooms acquire mostof their knowledge through classroom lectures and

RVLs can be sufficiently resolved, theycould be even more appropriate than real labs for training engineers who will use technologiessimilar to RVL in their future workplace.Most of the limiting factors to RVL adoption above have solutions in sight. Developing countriesmight actually be a vehicle for driving more rapid adoption of RVLs because in their case, thereis a compelling need. Institutions in such countries usually operate with chronic underfunding,therefore they have started demonstrating a desire for technologies that could meet theirstudents’ experimentation needs within budget constraints. If third world institutions startadopting RVLs en masse, it is possible that by throwing their collective weight behind a fewplatforms, these
