information—in order to create useful toolsand technologies. Consequently, engineering education has the objective of not only presenting thescientific principles, i.e., engineering science, but also of teaching students how to apply these toreal problems. It is not surprising, therefore, that hands-on laboratories have been an integral part ofthe engineering curriculum since its inception [1]. Their importance has been recognized by theAccreditation Board of Engineering Education (ABET) and its predecessors by creation of criteriarequiring adequate laboratory practice for students [2-6]. Unfortunately, during the last severaldecades, engineering laboratories have become highly complex and expensive, with multiplesimulation tools and computer
