Each of the fiveclasses of engineering materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, electronic materials andcomposites) is covered in its own lecture class with a focus on structure and properties. Three ofthese classes are in the junior year (metals, electronic materials, polymers) and two are in thesenior year (ceramics, composites). There is a laboratory-based class each semester. In

The issue with the former arises since students viewprescriptive, code-based design as an exercise of plugging values into equations disregarding thatthese analysis/design approaches are based on actual physical phenomena – flexure is foundedon strain compatibility and shear on the results of countless experimental tests. On the otherhand, visualizing structures is typically a problem for students who have not been exposed to thedesign and construction of reinforced concrete members via laboratory, work-site, or design-office experience. They have no 3-D reference to help them make sense of the many two-dimensional (2-D) figures shown in textbooks, course notes, and the concrete building code.The question

Consequently, engineering faculties are constantly faced with the dilemma of establishing abalance between virtual and real labs to address cost problems while graduating sophisticatedengineers with enough practice. One advantage of virtual experimentation and computersimulation is that engineers are better equipped to understand and use mathematical expressionsas well as graphics effectively. The advantages of using engineering simulation-based training also include reducing thegap between the learning environment and the "real" environment, and making available training“real world” situations that are difficult to simulate in a hands-on lab.
