For example, Kobayashi [12] improved the datamatching module of a virtual mechanics laboratory software for the application of biomechanicseducation. Kobayashi’s work was presented as a work-in-progress and did not specify theteaching effectiveness of the improved module. Furthermore, Rahman and Bula [13] developed atutorial based software to aide undergraduate students in a “Thermal Systems and Economics”course. They found the instruction process was greatly enhanced because the application resultedin interactive learning.

Through a laboratory, hands-on approach,the teachers learned about these and other engineering ideas. As indicated earlier, how teacherslearn new ideas must be consistent with how they will one day teach these ideas.For one of the experiments in that course, the professor used a small, plastic (hobby-store) I-beam. The teachers tested the I-beam for its critical buckling load. For a different experiment,the professor used some latex rubber tubes. The teachers used those tubes to learn aboutYoung’s Modulus.

A different substitute teacher chose to teach all topics about motors. They still introduced some basic concepts about process control system, however, the author and the department think the course can benefit students more if the courseware is redesigned at a different level.
