and all its inputs,outputs, and milestones.LimitationsThis paper presents a project in progress. The augmented reality experience is not yet completeand data from the users will be collected at a later time. Once the VR experience is complete,the survey instrument will also be tested for repeatability. The two important qualities of surveysare consistency and accuracy, so these will be assessed for reliability and validity.Design of the Experimental Fabrication Branch StoryboardThe Experimental Fabrication Branch was selected to be designed as the NASA virtualexperience from the Armstrong Flight Research Center. The Armstrong ExperimentalFabrication Branch is a manufacturing, modification, and repair center. It consists of five shopsthat

theirpresence is in alignment with appropriate social etiquette and communication skills. In addition, another area where cooperative learning is especially impactful is in the developmentof employability skills. Employability skills refer to those basic skills that are necessary for anindividual to obtain, maintain, and succeed in meaningful employment. Students expect to leaveschool after having gained the skills, knowledge and ability to earn a job [38]. These skills include notonly basic academic skills but higher-level thinking skills and the so-called “soft skills” such as timemanagement, communication, punctuality and cooperation [39].

ongoing and increasing proliferation and impact of data in how welive and work. Our graduates enter a workplace that will increasingly rely upon the acquisition andanalysis of data and will use it to guide management and leadership actions. Organizations gatherand use data about their products, services, customers, and employees. Given that our engineeringgraduates will likely enter supervisory positions, there is a high likelihood that they will use dataas part of their responsibilities. Many engineers will develop sensors and algorithms in theseendeavors, and accordingly it is important that they develop this expertise before graduating.The motivation for the Data Innovations Project in the existing ESET 319 course was to providestudents with
