Laboratory experiments are an essential part of engineering education for students to gain practical skills and to prepare them for working in industries. However, due to the increasing number of undergraduate students and the rising cost of industry equipment, many universities are unable to provide industrial experience in the laboratories. To address these challenges, educators have proposed Virtual Laboratories (VLabs) that provide an alternative means of conducting experiments. This research proposes a specific type of VLab and investigates its significance in undergraduate engineering courses.
