A newly developed portable, computer‐assisted, structural engineering teaching laboratory, called AN/EX, has been incorporated into the civil engineering curriculum at the University of Missouri‐Rolla (UMR). A formal assessment of AN/EX was conducted to identify its effect on the abilities and attitudes of UMR civil engineering students. The assessment methodology is described. Opinion surveys indicated that AN/EX had a positive influence on student attitudes. Statistical analyses of test scores indicated that AN/EX did not undermine traditional problem solving skills, but it did have a positive influence on student abilities to solve synthesis‐oriented structural engineering problems.
