experiences of designing and using conceptual labs in engineering education that havesuccessfully fostered insightful learning9. A conceptual lab is described as “one that helpsstudents to develop fruitful ways of linking concepts and models to objects and events8.Furthermore, it is a place of inquiry, where students’ ‘ways of seeing or experiencing … theworld [are developed]’; i.e. the lab is an arena for further learning rather than simply forconfirmation theories and formulas that have already been taught in lectures”9. A common featureof such labs is that they exploit technology called probe-ware or Microcomputer-Based Labs(MBL).Probe-ware systems were introduced into physics teaching almost three decades ago and are goodexamples of the use of
