Captivate meets all of the criteria outlined above and was already used bysome staff when this project began.As with any even moderately complex software application, learning Captivate does require aninvestment in time. Rather than develop tutorials by trial and error, the author used a set oftraining manuals for Captivate 5.8,9 Working through every exercise in the books took severaldays, but taking the time up front easily saved twice the time invested. On the advice of acolleague with recent Captivate experience, the author also invested time up front in creating atemplate project so that every tutorial in the set would share colors and other “skin” elements andhave common beginning and ending screens.

The program has attracted many graduate students into the fieldof nanoelectronics.In the future, we plan to further develop a new course specifically aboutNanoelectronics. In this class, students can do some in-depth course projects innanoelectronics field, and further their knowledge and skills to prepare them to meetthe challenges as future nanoelectronics engineers or researchers.

Rather, it affords the opportunity for studentsto experience thinking and solving problems that are industrially situated and are not available incurrent university curricula. Because the experiments are virtual, they are easy and quick forstudents to perform. This aspect affords students unusual depth of thought as they are notconstrained by the haptic elements needed to make measurements but rather are able to plan runsand analyze results in the iterative experimental design process. In this way, it is not the directinteraction with the virtual laboratory
