Investigating the Impacts of A Simulation-Based Learning Model Using Simulation Virtual Laboratory on Engineering Students

Considering electrical engineering students at Universitas Negeri Medan as a case study, this research looks at how an SVL affected their grades. Integrating the TAM with the ABET Laboratory Learning Objectives, it provides a comprehensive framework for quality engineering and technology education. This research is the first of its kind to theoretically compare the two concepts in a VL context. This research examines the relationship between student performance in the classroom and the TAM's usability components as well as the ABET's learning objectives. The results from the surveys given to first-year Electrical Engineering students are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Partial Least Squares (PLS). Because it enhances student performance and satisfies their learning goals, the results demonstrate that utilizing simulation-based virtual laboratories (SVL) in engineering education offers substantial educational benefits.
