PureWaterLab is a software resource for education and research on water conservation in manufacturing. The Lab consists of a web site and desktop software which accesses learning modules via the Internet for on- or off-line use. The key educational technology is that of interactive software simulation of manufacturing water systems. Interactive simulations enhance student understanding of complex systems, and the active engagement of students in learning helps attract and retain a diversity of students. Simulations are based on detailed mathematical models from the research literature and include consideration of economic costs and regulatory constraints. Such realistic simulations allow undergraduate students to participate in research on water systems in addition to learning about water conservation. Simulations are one component of the complete educational modules provided, which state learning objectives, include explanatory text and media, encourage collaborative learning, challenge students with projects and quizzes, and solicit feedback. The Lab uses the Internet to distribute educational modules and also to provide course bulletin boards, conversations among students and instructors, links to web resources, and usage logs to aid assessment and evaluation. The software framework is field-independent and can be extended to other educational fields.

PureWaterLab 是一个用于制造业节水教育和研究的软件资源。该实验室由网站和桌面软件组成，可通过互联网访问学习模块以供在线或离线使用。关键的教育技术是制造水系统的交互式软件模拟。交互式模拟增强了学生对复杂系统的理解，学生的积极参与学习有助于吸引和留住学生的多样性。模拟基于研究文献中的详细数学模型，并考虑了经济成本和监管约束。这种逼真的模拟使本科生除了学习节水知识之外还可以参与水系统的研究。模拟是所提供的完整教育模块的组成部分之一，该模块陈述学习目标，包括解释性文本和媒体，鼓励协作学习，通过项目和测验向学生提出挑战，并征求反馈。该实验室利用互联网分发教育模块，并提供课程公告板、学生和教师之间的对话、网络资源链接以及使用日志以帮助评估和评估。软件框架与领域无关，可以扩展到其他教育领域。
