AB  - The objective of this study is to determine if a virtual reality field trip can provide a valuable educational experience to undergraduate students. The format of this virtual reality field trip was a tour of a steel-framed skyscraper under construction narrated by a lead structural engineer, who took the participants to eight stops around a typical floor and explained various steel framing concepts with illustrations. The tour was provided to the students using standalone virtual reality headsets in a classroom setting. The assessment method consisted of pre- and post-tour quizzes to quantify the comprehension improvement of specific structural steel framing concepts and to gauge the impact of the virtual reality tour on inspiring students’ interest in the subject. The assessment data was supplemented by additional post survey data on students’ opinions of the experience. It was found that students were excited to interact with the virtual site visit and left the experience with a better understanding of structural steel framing. Lessons learned from this experience are discussed along with student recommendations for improvements in the educational module.
