The AE program involves thedevelopment and implementation of single day to four-week adventure-drivenengineering-based curricula for grade 5 through 9 science and/or math classes. Given adesignated time period and concepts identified in national math and science standards,the AE team develops an adventure-based scenario filled with obstacles that require thelearning and application of the desired science and/or math concepts.

engineering curricula faces barriers that must be overcome. Thefactors impeding assimilation of virtual labs in engineering education are both perceptual as wellas substantive in nature. Physical labs are used as one of the primary means of providing hands-on experience to engineering students. In the mind-set of many present day engineeringeducators, hands-on experience is better gained in the physical domain as compared to hands-onexperience obtained in the virtual domain through virtual laboratories. This is due to the widelyheld view that physical labs provide a window to real world while virtual labs are just animitation of the real stuff – merely a computer-based simulation and visualization of the realworld. To some extent this view is
