have been many scientific discoveries and inventions thatwere groundbreaking for humanity, such as the invention of the steam engine, automobile, theconstruction of the skyscraper, and the aircraft. Nevertheless, these significant developments alsoresult in the tremendous depletion of the world’s resources. In the US, the use of petroleum hasrisen from less than one quadrillion (1015) BTU in 1900, to 41 quadrillion BTU in 2000, and thetrend is likely to increase significantly in this century1. Therefore, the development of renewableenergy and the research for new sources of energy has become more necessary2-7.One of the objectives of the Experiential Engineering Education and this paper is to reformengineering education by moving away from the

the remote user when the allotted timeslot expires.Introduction In recent years, universities have witnessed a greater number of students enrolling indistance-education classes. But as the existing computing technologies are primarily designed forvideo-based lectures, rarely are laboratory experiments included in these classes. Laboratoryexperiments can be vital for students in visualizing various engineering concepts. For instance,remotely controlling a shaketable experiment may help students gain a better understanding ofvibration phenomena like resonance. There have been some suggestions to use simulations in theclasses to achieve the same goal. However, researchers 1 have pointed out that “There will alwaysbe an important place for

suggested to us that students needed a system that would encourage them to examinetheir assumptions as they worked through problems in their domain.Related workThere are two related domains of research. First, there are the generic attempts to support modeling developed inthe educational field. These support environments are often not applicable to the needs of engineering students.Some environments, such as STELLA [9], use a notational constructs that are difficult for novice users tounderstand. This requires an additional overhead in learning concepts and syntax that are not connected to thetheoretical understanding of the domain itself that students are building [12] [13].
