Abstract (Summary)

The goal of the ongoing project is to enhance students' learning process by implementing an undergraduate engineering curricular transformation that integrates simulation and visualization modules as well as virtual experiments in engineering science and core courses in three disciplines: electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering. These modules serve as additional learning tools that build on laboratory experiments and classroom learning by engineering students in urban areas where the students' demographics parallel the nontraditional students who typically are older, have families, and work full time in order to earn enough income to fit into the social and economic lifestyles in urban societies. Providing additional learning resources that are accessible to these students at their convenience will enhance their ability to learn. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
