This allows the faculty member toadjust the lecture, such as increasing the pace of the lecture if the students are keeping up, toadding new material if the students are falling behind.In this paper, we describe the hardware and software systems we use for active learning.

professionalenvironment. A proper knowledge transfer is an important precondition for engineers to actcompetently and to solve different kinds of problems. However, due to the increasing numberof study paths as well as the specialization of particularly technical oriented classes, there is aneed for the integration of new media into the curriculum of most students [1]. Thus, thevisualization of educational content in order to explain theory more concrete and tangible hasgained importance. To prepare students adequately for new situations in their work life,virtual reality (VR) can be an effective instrument for learning and teaching processes. Byimitating real-world processes, professional skills can be developed, increased or maintained.Especially if the

The results of the two new courses described in thispaper confirm again the validity of this approach. However, the new ELVIS product, coupled withLabVIEW, makes such an approach even easier, more affordable, and more flexible for educators.We highly recommend investigating the use of ELVIS for other courses.The lab manuals and solutions described in this paper are freely available for educational, non-profit use, and we invite user suggestions for improvement.

Although, theentire activity from start to finish is carefully monitored by the instructor with continuous feedbackand grading of team-performance, independent team work and individual responsibility are alsoemphasized. This activity can be replicated in other CGT courses as well other disciplines. The resultssuggest that it can be an effective means to strengthen CG course pedagogy.
