Shelving the Hardware: Developing Virtual Laboratory Experiments T. Hannigan, K. Koenig, V. Austin, E. Okoro Mississippi State UniversityAbstractTime is at a premium in a crowded aerospace engineering curriculum, and offerings oflaboratory classes in lock step have become a stumbling block to students who deviate from thetraditional paths. Students who participate in cooperative education programs, internships, andthose who transfer into the upper division from other disciplines and colleges have often sufferedgraduation delays from limited course offerings. These delays often arose from prerequisites forand sequencing of laboratory courses. However, a survey of activities

In summary, there is a need for failure awareness in the undergraduate engineeringcurriculum. Engineering students can learn a lot from failures, and failures play an importantrole in engineering design. This need has been expressed in a number of papers and at a numberof conferences over the past two decades. This proposed research is a specific response to thatneed and will provide (1) much needed access to examples, and (2) a heightened appreciation ofthe

By no means are we suggesting this is the only way to teach, nor are wesaying that this is the best way to teach.
