The use of web has become an attractive option for the development of learning environments due to the high interactive interfaces which computers have throughout their multimedia resources - graphic, videos, animation and simulation. In this scenario, this paper presents an analysis of the influence of ConcWeb online virtual environment on the learning process for reinforced concrete design. The collected data consisted of student's exams from which a longitudinal study was used to obtain the results. All measurements were obtained during the course of one semester and were adjusted to hierarchical linear models in order to describe the students' learning trajectories. The final results show a positive influence of ConcWeb in the students' learning process. Since the students are stimulated to access the virtual environment, ConcWeb is a great tool to assist them in the process of learning reinforced concrete design as well as to assist lectures teach this subject to engineering majors.

Keywords : Engineering Education; Simulation; E-learning; Longitudinal Analysis.
