of mathematical models in design and analysis [3]. In professional practice, engineersneed to make numerous decisions in order to mathematize an object or system into a model andto evaluate their decisions or the model’s outputs. Research has shown expertise to be animportant component of engineering judgment [3], [4]. While this means that students cannotpossess complete engineering judgment by the end of their undergraduate education, we stillbelieve that students need to begin engaging in this kind of decision-making early in theireducation. This will allow students to better connect their engineering science courses with theiropen-ended capstone design projects, project teams, and their future engineering career.Our research team has

Expanding Structural Engineering Education through Virtual RealityAbstractStructural Engineering is an abstract field of study that relies heavily on students’ ability tovisualize. Due to the scale of structural projects (e.g. bridges, buildings), it is not possible toprovide students hands-on experiences manipulating and handling structural elements. Bringingstudents to the construction site is one of the most effective ways of reinforcing the subject matteras well as instilling a sense of awe and motivation for academic progress. However, the schedulingof field trips is very difficult due to students’ academic and work schedules along with changes insite access due to COVID-19.
