“…In fact, many reports of improved student learning with computer-aided instruction focus upon the details of the software [10,11,13,14,19], and do not rigorously assess the impact of such technology upon learning using objective measures of student knowledge. Assessment, where done, often relies upon the students' view of the courseware in terms of usability [12,20,21] and not upon measures of knowledge acquired.…”

Industries are tending toward computer-based simulation, monitoring, and control of processes. This trend suggests an opportunity to modernize engineering laboratory pedagogy to include computer experiments as well as tactile experiments. However, few studies report the impact of simulations upon student learning in engineering laboratories. We evaluated the impact of computer-simulated experiments upon student learning in a senior unit operations laboratory. We compared data on control and test groups from three sources: 1) a comprehensive exam over the course; 2) a questionnaire answered by students regarding how well the areas of ABET Engineering Criterion 3 (a-k) were met; and 3) oral presentations given by the students. Our results indicate that student learning is not adversely affected by introducing computer-based experiments. We therefore conclude that, while the tactile laboratory should remain in the engineering curriculum, the pedagogy can reflect the increasing use of information technology in the manufacturing industries without compromising student learning.

“…And the created coursewares are developed with a variety of development softwares and programming technologies, from general program languages, such as C family [9,13,19,35,36], Visual Basic [8,14,37], Java family [38À40], Fortran [36], Matlab [9,41,42], to more professional softwares, such as Macromedia Authorware [26], Microsoft PowerPoint, Macromedia Flash [12,38], VRML [43], OpenGL [19], etc. There are also coursewares involving special softwares, such as Microsoft Excel [36].…”

Virtual hydraulic circuits can be valuable complements to hydraulic circuit experiment education since that they can relieve the problem of lack of physical hydraulic experiment equipments. Flash is the most widely used software for creating plane animations for education. In this article, the process of constructing a virtual hydraulic circuit using Flash is demonstrated in detail by dividing the whole process into four steps: (1) designs the structure of the virtual hydraulic circuit, (2) creates virtual hydraulic component Flash symbols, (3) constructs the virtual hydraulic circuit Flash movie using the created virtual hydraulic component Flash symbols, and (4) synthesizes the mathematical models of the whole virtual hydraulic circuit, and implements numerical simulation algorithms using ActionScript language to drive the virtual hydraulic circuit according to the mathematical models.

“…Schumacker [7] mentioned that, under a psychological method called Andragogy, 2 ''the teaching process should be seen as a process of guided interaction between the teacher, the student, and the materials of instruction. [ This is the direction we have planned to follow with e-status, as a tool for the development of innovative learning scenarios.…”

“…Although our students are contact learning students, they will appreciate a tool for practicing statistics problem solving that is available anywhere, and that immediately informs them of which answers were correct and which ones were wrong. As Li et al [2] pointed out: ''the webbased education possesses many advantages for engineering educators over other instructional approaches: First, web-based instruction present information in a non-linear style, allowing students to explore new information via browsing and crossreferencing activities. Second, web-based teaching supports active learning processes emphasized by constructivist theory.…”

ABSTRACT:The article presents a web-based tool designed to support a learning project led by a team of teachers to assist students in learning statistics. The goal is to build a tool that is able to display statistical or mathematical problems and to correct the students' answers. The problems may include random data, so the solution cannot be previously known (if solved beforehand), and the student can reconsider the problem if necessary. The methodology proposed could be useful in many other courses with a mathematical basis, particularly in engineering studies, in which students make extensive use of problem solving to lessen the level of abstraction present in the classroom. Students from a number of universities are currently using the tool, within the framework of a project that aims to improve the quality of learning. The pedagogical implications are mentioned, since the tool can be effective with basic, intermediate and high level learning, particularly if the problems are carefully designed.
