Hsiu-Ping Yueh, Horn-Jiunn Sheen

• The rationale and design of this cohort laboratory training, which blends both real NBTLC and virtual NBTLC, are considered for their effect on student learning. After implementation of the program into a graduate engineering laboratory course, an evaluation study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of this blended laboratory training program. According to results, most students showed positive attitudes toward this practice. In addition, students perceived positive impacts of this effort on their laboratory learning experience. Furthermore, this paper discusses the important issues observed in the study, such as interdisciplinary learning and teaching. It is expected that this study will contribute to the practice of innovative adoption of technology in engineering laboratory education and research on cyber learning.
