University of Texas at San Antonio developed an advancedvisualization lab to simulate almost any situation from classical engineering beam deformation tobiomedical virtual reality simulation [9]. These studies all embodied examples in which usingtechnology to enhance teaching methods garnered success for both students and faculty.This paper will delve into the 18-month development and enhancement of laboratoryexperiments at PNW for Applied Strength of Materials. After evaluating student performancesand receiving feedback from industry partners, an outcome goal of the course became to improvestudents’ experiential learning. This went hand in hand with the goals of the department toachieve more of a hands-on approach; prepare students for employment

From the feedback from the students, the experimental studies enhancedtheir understanding of the course materials and the experiments were one of the best resourcesfor improving the learning effectiveness. In the meantime, the students still value their learningthrough homework, lectures, examples, and exams. Our results suggest that the implementationof both experimental studies and traditional means is the best way to reach our learningobjectives.References[1] D. J.

First of all, it is not a well-known field among K-12 students so any education,even just the fact that the field exists, will increase the number of students choosing toenter the field. Secondly, the science-base and cross-disciplinary nature of the fieldappeal to students who aren’t ready to concentrate on applications they perceive to takethem into one field of science at the expense of others. For example students assume,correctly or not, that majoring in chemical engineering means they won’t be “doingphysics” any more or majoring in mechanical engineering means they will be doing onlyphysics-related applications. Lastly, the fact that atomic structure plays such a vital rolein materials work allows for interesting
