Thegraphical spreadsheets avoid impractical solutions, mainly because the designer can visualize thepossible design. As the spreadsheet is easy to change, the students can create their ownspreadsheet based on the one given by the instructor.Finally, the students may perform their own research about the relative importance of theparameters involved in the design. These tools are practically virtual laboratories.Bibliography1. Microsoft Office
