The experiment reveals that students who have usedthe RP simulator perform not as good as students who have an instructor in the laboratory,particularly in the comprehensive exam and the calibration operation31. Consequently, theauthors would like to conduct further investigation to learn about (1) If integration of VF andTutor System (TS) can achieve similar performance as a real instructor in the classroom;and (2) What components should be incorporated in the TS to enhance

CourseAbstractWith an increasing emphasis on student learning outcomes and assessment, educators constantlyseek ways to effectively integrate theory and hands-on practices in inventive course designmethodologies. Critics of engineering education argue that educational programs focus too muchon the transmittal of information through static lecture-discussion formats and routine use ofoutdated laboratory exercises. On the other hand, that active learning, learning that involveshands-on experience, significantly improves student comprehension and proficiency. It is clearthat understanding and retention are greatly enhanced when students engage in active learning.While theoretical knowledge remains a fundamental component of any comprehension process,the
