Morris Mano, has been the most widely usedteaching material for training and understanding computer operation since its publication. Thisteaching material provides an understanding of computer operation, assembly language andassemblers, and enhances ability in hardware design and software programming.However, it is very difficult for students to learn this subject through theoretical lectures alone.Therefore, in order to help students to understand, the lessons were followed with the designproject “A Simple Computer,” which was introduced in the teaching

The panel alsorecommended the integration of software tools such as Matlab into these courses29.The proposal considers a Drag-and-Drop Graphical User Interface (GUI) that communicates anindustrial PID controller with a personal computer. The communication system is hidden to thestudents. The GUI, follows the plug-and-play philosophy, which avoids the training andconfiguration time that every experimental laboratory demands. This interface allows students tointeract with real process systems. Several control strategies can be easily implemented based onMatlab/Simulink or compiled on ANSI C scripts.This paper is organized in

Althoughsome apps have been ported to mobile platforms including the mobile blackboard (mobile BB),the iOS Java-DSP8 (i-JDSP) mathematical simulations, and YouTubeTM education channels12,there are both technical deficiencies and lack of assessment.

set definition for “virtual lab.” Forinstance, in some papers, the term “virtual labs” refers to the remote operation of physical labs[31], [32].Furthermore, we identified that in certain cases, the term “virtual lab” is used in place of“simulation” especially for those fields that are numerical in nature [33], [34]. One of such fieldsis the mechanics education in aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering [35], [36]. We foundthis observation to be interesting because the use of finite element method to solve problems isessentially an elaborate (i.e., more rigorous) approach to solving mechanics problems. In otherwords, if students understand how to setup a computer model in a finite element (FE) software,apply a load and boundary
