A Virtual Engineering/Science Laboratory Course--JHU [Java]

Michael Karweit of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Johns Hopkins
University created this online laboratory to simulate engineering and
science laboratory projects. The site is used in a course entitled What is
Engineering?, a beginning science and engineering course. The experiments
and exercises use JAVA to create interactive simulations. Certain
experiments also include MPEG movie sequences. The virtual laboratory is
under development so not all of the exercises are completely functional.
Exercise topics include creating logic circuits, diffusion concentration
models, underground topology, forces of bridge trusses, robotic arm
control, and estimating the number of trees from a Landsat satellite image.
All the exercises provide a brief introduction to the problem and some
directions on running the experiment. [KH]
