Abstract

Virtual laboratories and modules are used in most universities to reinforce concepts from lecture material, provide exposure to practical issues associated with experiments and present visual, realistic applications of theoretical concepts. In addition, interactive simulations and virtual environments can play a significant role in facilitating learning through engagement, immediate feedback and in creating real-world scenarios. This work presents the initial phase in the development of a set of Web based virtual laboratories and modules - Virtual Interactive Engineering on the Web (VIEW). A Virtual Tensile Testing Laboratory (VTTL) is developed to be used as a supplement in the course: Introduction to Engineering Materials. The main objective of this laboratory is to introduce students to the testing techniques required to determine mechanical properties of materials such as elastic modulus, yield strength, ductility, and toughness.
