Abstract

This paper presents a set of controlled simulated statical and engineering mechanical experiments accessible via the virtual world environment (VWE) and virtual physics lab S/W. Online courses of the university offering courses and/or programs online are growing and the number of students want education in ways which fit their personal places, e-learning is becoming more important and ubiquitous each year. In this study, first of all, question is rather 'How do we execute the learning effectiveness of e-learning courses?' than 'Why does they need e-learnig or VW-learning?'. In particular, is it possible to effectively teach mechanical engineering courses online? The answer was 'No'. So, there is little research on many of these questions. And another important question is 'Is e-learning cost effective?'. For the answer, This research provided that an instructional design model is used to 'How to think and apply the Newtonian forces' in the virtual physics lab S/W. Collected data from student are administered in the spring semester when students studied 'Introduction to Bio-resources and Systems Engineering'. Results show that a cadre of students can take highly interactively physical properties of mechanical engineering in the virtual laboratory environment. Those show that VWE is greater than that of a similar real world presentation or experimental lab, since most of students are delighted to modify and retry modeling works in the VWE.
