Inattempting to teach MATLAB in isolation, the typical use context is not factored in that initialexperience. As a result, there is little opportunity to develop a familiarity with MATLAB asmore than just a collection of programming commands rather than to know it as a practicalengineering tool for assessment through the collection and analysis of data.On top of that, there are some inherent pitfalls to overcome in teaching any design application.Be it MATLAB or SOLIDWORKS; these tools are large and complex with thousands ofcommands.

Currently there are three virtual modules: photolithography, scanning electronmicroscope (SEM), and plasma etching, with the potential for more being developed. The firststep to creating these labs was the creation of the real-world, in-class materials. These materialsinclude lectures, slide presentations, diagrams, and homework given to students. Figure 1 is anexample of some diagrams used to teach students about nanotechnology. Following that,educators also created photolithography, SEM, and plasma etching labs using real-worldmaterials and processes. It was only after

Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications makes NetLogo a popular use to developmodels for agent-based system requiring an interactive interface.INTRODUCTIONComputer simulation in general means building a computer model of a process or a system. Itallows us to use computer resources to simulate various activities that go into a system and get theresults or observations that would occur in the real system. There are multiple advantages tocomputer simulation. It allows building models which otherwise would be costly to build in thereal world. It allows to visualize a concept of a process without building it physically and check ifit is correct, viable or needs modification. It allows to model the real-world systems such as cityplanning, traffic

of laboratory exercises. Online educational resources often concentrateon teaching theoretical concepts, such as proving theorems or solving equations, and have verylittle or no coverage of practical laboratories. Laboratory experiments are an essentialcomponent of science and engineering education as they provide hands-on experiences forunderstanding theoretical concepts or directly addressing real world problems. Students oftenlearn more from lab exercises than purely theoretical problems. One approach to compensate forthis deficiency is to provide recorded videos of real lab experiments which familiarize studentswith the process of how a certain lab is conducted. However, this method alone does notadequately substitute for the physical

The issue is compounded by the lack of adequate connection between classroomlearning and the engineering applications in the real world. This not only causes anxiety amongpart of the student body but also ill-prepared them for subsequent courses requiring suchknowledge. A student can barely pass calculus I and still be lacking some critical skills inhandling trigonometry problems in statics and circuits [1].The engineering application of trigonometry is everywhere, such as in automobile enginecrankshaft design, in robotic arm movement programming for assembly line operation, and inland survey result calculation.

This allows for more 3D-model visualization over the Internet that can be CPUintensive in addition to accommodating large file sizes. For example, even in VRML, acommon 3D file format for web use, the files are generally designed to be small but eventhese files can quickly become complex when trying to realistically model an actualobject or system.

While laboratory experiences diverge from a formal classroom lecture to allow students toconduct experiments related to real-world disciplinary concepts, many engineering laboratoriesuse a “cookbook” and procedural based structure.
