Traditionally, we have used simulation laboratories (using either OPNET by Mil3, orCOMNET by Compuware) in addition to using off-the-shelf network equipment such asrouters, bridges, and network cards. These laboratory settings gave our students an insight Page 7.1191.1 “Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright ? 2002, American Society for Engineering Education”into how to design computer networks and run different scenarios under

aimed atundergraduate electrical engineering education.Requirements of a virtual laboratory To be effective in undergraduate education, a virtual laboratory must provide at least the samelevel of learning as does a physical laboratory. That raises a very important question: in engineeringeducation, is the goal to teach design and applications, or is it to teach the techniques of physicalconstruction such as soldering or welding? In the context of current engineering education, the answerappears to be the former: teaching design principles and application of those principles, including system 1 © American

some researchers11,22,6 question the value of lab experiments,there is no doubt that the lab experiment is a commonly employed teaching tool in industrialtechnology. The purpose of laboratory experiments in industrial technology is, as Gillet,Latchman, Salzmann, and Crisalle10 said, “…to motivate, illustrate, and enlighten thepresentation of the subject matter addressed in the lecture” (p. 190).A written report often follows the lab experiment in order to cause the student to reflect on,summarize, and quantify the laboratory experience. To learn by doing in the laboratory,followed by reflecting on that experience and writing about it in the form of a report, can onlyfurther enhance learning. Lederman16 stated that “the assumption that students

It allows for them to gain crucial skills in diagnosing problems on a conceptual andinstrumental level.3 Numerous studies have been conducted over the years on the significance of emphasizingpractical skills in the classroom/laboratory. Students are either placed in one of two categories:active or passive. For the students who are considered active, their dependency on engagement inexperimentation in the course laboratory is critical to their understanding of fundamentalconcepts.1 This imbalance, or gap, in the teaching education leads to several unprepared engineersmoving into the workplace without sufficient skills required to contribute right away

This Virtual Power Laboratory 1 (VPL) is developed on a universal web-basedplatform that can be accessed anywhere by most mobile devices and modern computers. As aproof of concept, nine virtual experiments have been developed for DC motors and generators.Machine concepts are summarized using text, 2D and 3D graphics as well as multimediaanimation.

Together, these count for 100 points out of a course total of 800, or about12% of the student’s grade.V. Benefits and PitfallsStudent feedback on the consulting exercise has been generally positive.

Students do not see therelevance of what they learn in their physics courses to either their ongoing education in biologyor their future careers in the life sciences. Yet, biomedical researchers and medical practitionersare acutely aware of the critical role of physics in the study of living systems from themacroscopic to the cellular scales.
