Abstract
This study investigates the efficacy of the simulation-based laboratory lessons in electronics industrial instrumentation to support both knowledge and problem solving skill of engineering students. This study focused on developing of simulation-based laboratory lessons in electronics industrial instrumentation to enhance ill-structured problem solving for engineering students. The result revealed that the designing framework consist of the component called “Simulation Laboratory” which can activate cognitive structure and enhance Ill-structured problem solving. The other focus, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of simulation-based laboratory versus traditional laboratory. The result revealed that there is no significant difference for both laboratories. The finding of this study indicate that is possible to use the simulation-based laboratory instead of traditional laboratory to reduce constraint of equipment investment, specific time and space.
