AB  - This paper presents an innovative instructional approach that capitalizes on digital twin technology to transform traditional lectures into “learning-by doing” experiences in the course laboratory. In this paper, we address how the use of digital twin technology in laboratory simulation environments affords students authentic learning experiences, i.e., experiences that reflect what a learner is expected to encounter in the real-world. The immediate feedback feature, enabled by the connection of the digital twin to the physical twin, provides students important insights into system behavior while accelerating learning. Such authentic experiences not only promote learning transfer (i.e., what a person has learned at one time affects how that person learns or performs in novel situations), but also afford opportunities for follow-on discussion and question-answering with students. The advantage of this experiential learning approach is that it  equips students with the relevant knowledge and competencies in a fast, cost-effective and safe way before they enter the workforce. For example, working with digital twins of physical vehicles, students are exposed to rich learning opportunities as they explore various facets of the system such as vehicle dynamics, coordinate transform mathematics such as quaternions, and control techniques, much more rapidly and comprehensively than can be done solely with physical vehicles. This approach is being adopted in an experimental course in the University of California’s Systems Architecting and Engineering Graduate Program.
