This article presents the results of using virtual laboratories in the soil mechanics course. The course is part of the Civil and the Agricultural engineering curriculums at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. From the students´ point of view, the use of virtual laboratories contributes to the understanding and application of concepts in order to solve problems related to soil mechanics. The results of students' perception of self-efficacy are explored as well as their perception of virtual laboratories in relation to the socio-demographic characteristics of students. Evidence collected suggests that students find laboratories useful to improve their research and analytical skills and help to expand their knowledge about soil mechanics. High performance students, in the course, consider that the use of virtual laboratories is key to acquire engineering concepts and analytical skills. They assess as positive the use of virtual laboratories.
