Overview
Engineering education research is an emerging field of science that is still in the process of rigor establishment. Virtual experimentation facilitates active, enquiry-based learning rather than the passive, protocol driven learning normally found in traditional laboratories, are low cost and enable students to learn in their own time and pace. Their use also overcomes health and safety constraint issues.
Features
The specific objectives of the Developing Engineering Laboratory Education - Hybrid Virtual Lab research at Robert Gordon University are to:
- Critically review and assess the pedagogical benefits use of virtual tools across the Engineering.
- Develop a framework for the implementation of hybrid labs with a case applied to the Oil and Gas Engineering and Mechanical Engineering laboratory.
- Determine the impact of the integration of the components of the hybrid approach on students’ learning experience by using educational research methods and modern pedagogical theories.
- Develop pedagogically informed model that may cope with the shortcomings of the traditional approach of teaching and learning of engineering labs.
