Popis: It is known that experiments and hands-on learning are attractive for actual students. Furthermore, visualization permits an in-deep understanding of the learning content with beneficial consequence on the students’ performances. Consequently, virtual laboratories can aid students in achieving higher performances when studying machine design. In our research, after the students have familiarized with the theoretical aspects, they dispose of Java applets that allow performing supplementary experiments. After performing numerous experiments, which imply modifying the simulation parameters, it is observed that the students thoroughly understand the studied phenomenon.

Abstrakt:It is known that experiments and hands-on learning are attractive for actual students. Furthermore, visualization permits an in-deep understanding of the learning content with beneficial consequence on the students’ performances. Consequently, virtual laboratories can aid students in achieving higher performances when studying machine design. In our research, after the students have familiarized with the theoretical aspects, they dispose of Java applets that allow performing supplementary experiments. After performing numerous experiments, which imply modifying the simulation parameters, it is observed that the students thoroughly understand the studied phenomenon.
