-on labs remain tremendously importantin the technology curriculum, which is based on Dewey’s experiential learning theory. The basicpremise of this theory is that students learn as a result of doing or experiencing things in theworld, and learning occurs when mental activity is suffused with physical activity. 3 Theprofessional success of a technologist is directly related to her/his ability to transfer knowledgegained in the academic environment to real-world situations. Acquisition of manipulative skillsis only possible through the use of real instruments and real experimental data. Therefore, toenhance student learning, the technology curriculum must integrate the effective characteristicsof both computer simulations and hands-on lab

For example, Fine Arts students understand how components in any media through their interaction can assemble into a design greater than the sum of its parts. During the collaboration they gained appreciation of the practical problem-solving Engineering students in Computer Design face in real-world situations: fast turn-around deadlines, parameters of memory storage capacity, constraints on robotic behavior capabilities. In turn, students from Engineering & Computer Systems came to realize that art design is an integrative process that increases the appeal of the product in the

Thisseparates the learning from the real world (e.g. work of the engineer).

In a single 50-minute lecture, students were exposed to ideas such astemporal distribution of precipitation, time of concentration, degree of imperviousness of landcover, variation in infiltration capacity of soil, and
