and sociocultural norms as well as in classic studies of socialization in scientific andtechnical careers, which don’t mention novices’ existing knowledge, skills, or identities (e.g.,[17], [18], [19]). Despite ongoing critiques of this mindset as inaccurate and a barrier to learningand identity formation (e.g., [20], [21], [22]), some academic communities, such as theengineering research laboratory groups that co-author Wylie studies, continue to talk aboutnovices according to this model. This approach does great injustice to newcomers to expertcommunities as well as robs experts of opportunities to learn from “a wisdom of peripherality”([23] p. 216), i.e., the invaluable perspective of outsiders.

These features include complex, dynamic qualities that produce emergent outcomes(Kaplan, et al., 2012; Mitchell, 2009; Richardsen, et al., 2014). Research conducted within learningenvironments (i.e. classrooms, laboratories, etc.) necessarily involves the interaction of settings, tasks,teachers, and students (Schwab, 1971) and the study of motivation and engagement involves competingintraorganismic and extraorganismic factors (Deci & Ryan, 2002).

As a result of trying to cover too many topics, in- class demonstrations and labs were only offered periodically due to time constraints, even though they were found to be extremely worthwhile. ● There is disparity among personnel regarding preparedness to teach an integrated lab course as well as the depth of content required. Faculty buy-in of laboratory-style teaching is a must.

To help improve the students’ experiences and knowledge, two hands-on exercises were designedand added to the course content.

The issue with the former arises since students viewprescriptive, code-based design as an exercise of plugging values into equations disregarding thatthese analysis/design approaches are based on actual physical phenomena – flexure is foundedon strain compatibility and shear on the results of countless experimental tests. On the otherhand, visualizing structures is typically a problem for students who have not been exposed to thedesign and construction of reinforced concrete members via laboratory, work-site, or design-office experience. They have no 3-D reference to help them make sense of the many two-dimensional (2-D) figures shown in textbooks, course notes, and the concrete building code.The question

Consequently, engineering faculties are constantly faced with the dilemma of establishing abalance between virtual and real labs to address cost problems while graduating sophisticatedengineers with enough practice. One advantage of virtual experimentation and computersimulation is that engineers are better equipped to understand and use mathematical expressionsas well as graphics effectively. The advantages of using engineering simulation-based training also include reducing thegap between the learning environment and the "real" environment, and making available training“real world” situations that are difficult to simulate in a hands-on lab.
