PE faculty members continued using traditional teachingmethods, such as backboard and PowerPoint presentations including graphs and sketches. In 21 century, tremendouschanges have been made in teaching PE classes. Almost every petroleum engineering program started developing andusing laboratories to conduct experiments that help students’ attainment of course objectives, such as core, fluid, anddrilling labs. Since 2014, Bob L. Held department of petroleum engineering has adopted the use of visualizationmodels in teaching. More than seven lab-scale models were built and used in multiple PE classes.

, introductory lab courses play a crucial role in exposingstudents to the breadth of topics, experimental techniques, and apparatuses in the field. They haveplayed a long-standing role in rounding out the practical portion of an engineer’s education [1].These introductory courses are active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem-based in their verynature [2]. Students are in a hands-on laboratory space, working to collect data necessary to testan experimental hypothesis. Prince [2] defines active learning as “any instructional method thatengages students in the learning process." Laboratory classes certainly fall under thatumbrella.The goal of active learning in a mechanical engineering laboratory context is multi-fold. Thecourse should teach students

toengineering laboratory education. They claimed that virtual and remote experimentation couldact as concrete experiences, as well as abstract conceptualization and active experimentation.This would seem to indicate that virtual, simulated, or remote laboratory experiments are equallyas valuable in teaching hands-on skills as traditional physical laboratories. Shekoyan et.al. foundthat videos could act as concrete experience as in Kolb’s framework. They conceded that it wasimperative to study the literature on pedagogy and adjust assessments prior to the online courseand design the course purposefully around the virtual experiences [6]. However, other researchhas shown that virtual experiences are often not as effective as in person experiences

Both sections after the curriculum changeproduced lower gains on the FCI than the sections before the curriculum change, but this mayindicate that many factors are involved in student conceptual knowledge beyond the scope of thelaboratory curriculum.

This teaching concept was introduced earlier by Professor Jack Wilson6 atRensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and has since been implemented in many institutions6-10. In thisformat, the teacher spends less time at the blackboard, and the lectures are broken up by mini-experiments. The separate lecture/laboratory format of teaching is eliminated. At RHIT it was found thatthe students under this new format outscored those in the traditional method by 15% in the finalexamination, even after the examination was independently graded by three different instructors, thusproving that this teaching method to be superior

This model works well for investigations in molecular biology or chemistry, but manycomputational research tools are taught in a lecture course only. There is evidence that lecturecourses can also be improved with the CURE model. The Genome Solver

Some of the modules may not bein accord with the traditional way the topics within the module have been taught. Thus, there arequestions about which examples to use, which textbooks or supplemental material should beused, and which professor(s) will teach the modules. Questions may also arise when combiningtopics in a module that have been taught individually either in a lecture or laboratory setting.This step requires time, patience and communication with those responsible for teaching thematerial and making the semester schedule

process that is used extensively to removecontaminants from water and air. Environmental engineering faculty typically teach this topic bydescribing mathematical models that are used to quantify adsorption. This approach, by itself,may result in students having an incomplete understanding of adsorption because studentsfrequently have difficulty visualizing scientific phenomena such as the mass transfer process thatoccurs during adsorption. A hands-on laboratory experiment (cf. Speitel, 2001) where studentscollect and analyze adsorption data, may enhance students’ understanding of adsorption.Undeniably, hands-on experiences help students develop a deeper understanding of principlesstudied in and out of the classroom (Butkus et al., 2004; Pfluger
