adaptations abstractconstructs can be used to form an image in the student’s mind to aid in the experiential learningprocess. For example, the technical memo case study example used an imaginary company withthe professor as the CEO to frame a worked jet engine propulsion problem to be solved insteadof simply listing the problem with no context. In the student’s mind, the problem is nowsomewhat removed from the traditional class work ‘plug and chug’, and with a little imaginationthe student can find the right mindset for satisfying the ‘place’ aspect of experiential learning.Alignment to ABET Student Learning OutcomesThe ABET criteria for accrediting engineering programs lists seven student outcomes that mustbe met by any engineering program [18

experiences for all types of people. With this in mind, one goal is to inspire thenext generation of engineers by giving them a chance to experience the power of virtual-realityflight.PROJECT HISTORYIn Fall 2017, a multi-disciplinary team of six undergraduate engineering students at Oral RobertsUniversity (ORU) began developing a Stewart-platform-based virtual reality flight simulatorprototype. In doing this, they hoped to develop a more innovative approach to enhance theunderstanding of engineering design principles and custom aircraft design. This project took theform of the students’ senior capstone project, a university graduation requirement.By Spring 2018, the students had successfully designed and constructed a prototype that wasable to

the game would benefit from collaborationwith educators who can provide insights to a young student’s mind. Moving forward, the authors areworking with more teachers, especially those who do not have a background in aerospace, to obtainfeedback. Hopefully, approvals will be granted soon to allow students playing the game to be surveyed toobtain a richer set of feedback.AcknowledgementsSupport for this project was graciously provided by NSF project REvolutionizing Diversity OfEngineering (REDO-E) (project 1730693).References[1] Data USA: Aerospace Engineers. 2018.[2] Elam, M.

], and train engineers [10], [11], [12]. Since virtual technologies enable us to see a subjectmatter with our own eyes, it is a much more intuitive approach than imagining the subject matterin our minds. Therefore, the virtual technologies are useful visualization tool in learning thecomplex and conceptual problem that requires spatial understanding [13]. Due to theoverwhelming advantages of virtual technologies, the use of such technologies during theCOVID-19 pandemic and beyond is a must. However, how we can incorporate virtualtechnology into our teaching depends on how and what each instructor wants to capitalize on thepotential of virtual technologies [14]. Therefore, the research question to which we would like tocontribute is as follows
