Through the assessment, the viability of the virtual reality-based laboratory is studiedregarding the effectiveness of it as an education tool. Recommendations are also made forinstitutions interested in designing similar experiences.1 IntroductionEngineering education requires the transmission of information that provides students with anunderstanding of physical phenomena. Traditionally, engineering education utilizes laboratoryexperimentation to reinforce the learning experience 1 . As such, laboratories are an embedded partof scientific teaching as a whole 2

It allows for them to gain crucial skills in diagnosing problems on a conceptual andinstrumental level.3 Numerous studies have been conducted over the years on the significance of emphasizingpractical skills in the classroom/laboratory. Students are either placed in one of two categories:active or passive. For the students who are considered active, their dependency on engagement inexperimentation in the course laboratory is critical to their understanding of fundamentalconcepts.1 This imbalance, or gap, in the teaching education leads to several unprepared engineersmoving into the workplace without sufficient skills required to contribute right away

The disconnect between thetopics students learn in introductory physics lecture and laboratory and the changing nature ofthe biological sciences has only grown worse in recent decades. Students do not see therelevance of what they learn in their physics courses to either their ongoing education in biologyor their future careers in the life sciences. Yet, biomedical researchers and medical practitionersare acutely aware of the critical role of physics in the study of living systems from themacroscopic to the cellular scales.
