However, the operability of complete processes is usually outside thescope of these courses.An observation from teaching process design over a period of approximately 25 years is thatstudents have become increasing adept at using computer software and performing increasinglycomplex simulations using simulator software. Parametric optimization and extensive heatintegration are examples of improvements that can be and that are now easily simulated butwould have been nearly impossible or prohibitively time consuming only 25 years ago. Thisimprovement in software acuity seems to come at the price of

software simulations of physical entities, suchas electronic circuits, denies the user a chance to physically handle the circuit components orconstruct the circuit.3 On the other hand, simulation has another major advantage in that asimulation is task- and learner-neutral; it models an object/system construction and operation orlearning situation. Within simulation functionality, there are no restrictions on the student’sactions. Thus, the advantages of simulation outnumber its disadvantages. In the areas ofelectrical and electronics engineering and technology and manufacturing technology, there arenumerous uses for simulation, starting from simulation of electric circuits to complex tasks suchas electromagnetic fields, networking, computer

This approach offers clear advantages over traditional class room lectures, field training or training manuals.     1 – Learners can choose the time they want to learn. In this virtual physics lab, a student can have access anytime through networked computer. In classroom based training, an entire group of students has to attend classes in specific time in regular intervals. If student misses the class for any reason, it will be very difficult for him/her to cover the concept which was covered in the class on that day.   2 – Learners can learn at their own optimum
