It also seeks to study the effects oftechnology-based instruction that complements conventional instruction. This progress, as wellas lessons learned in the first three years of Media Based Instruction in introductory engineeringcourses (namely Circuits, Electronics, Network Analysis, and C++ for Digital Computations) isevaluated with data. The efficacy of embedding conventional teaching with Media BasedInstruction is assessed.IntroductionThis paper explores the results of a study and feedback completed by students.

endless for this technology. Whether it is just a simple simulation of amechanism or a highly complex fluids problem, it can be visually and mathematicallysimulated using VR. However, the benefits of VR are not limited to just its flexibility. Themost crucial advantage of using VR as a teaching aid is that it boosts student learningperformance through visual representation of complex concepts which they might have foundhard to grasp otherwise.6,7 Apart from these, its other advantages include assisting in research,increasing outreach to a wider audience remotely, and making the learning environment saferby eliminating risks.

The goal of this series of laboratories was once again to introduce thestudents slowly to the theory behind their design and then to progress towards morecomplex concepts. The first of these laboratories dealt with gear trains. This ‘Gear Lab’focused solely on teaching students gear train construction principles and techniques.The student design teams built and tested static gear trains to lift a set amount of weightwith a pulley. The students’ goal was to lift the weight a set distance as quickly aspossible, and teams that performed well were rewarded with bonus points. The simplegear trains built by the

Although this mentoring was provided at no additional cost, theseactivities needed to be monitored by faculty to be effective.The recommended changes may require additional laboratory resources and higher faculty-to-student ratios.
