Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of a computer-simulated
laboratory for use in undergraduate engineering education. The simulated
laboratory is implemented in a windows environment. Several
forms of tutorials and other assistance are available to the user to
complete the laboratory. Evaluations indicate that when the simulation
is used with class lectures there is a significant improvement in both
theory and lab knowledge. Use of the simulation significantly cuts
subsequent time and requests for assistance in the physical lab.
