. Visualization and engagement from technology-enabled 3. Inquiry-based science instruction (Mackin, 2012)This paper explores applications and delivery methods of VR in engineering using specificprograms recently used or will be used in students’ capstone projects as well as in class.Benefits of VT in Civil Engineering EducationVT offers a plethora of advantages for civil engineering education, encompassing various aspectsof the learning process. These benefits can be categorized into three key areas: deepeningconceptual understanding, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and personalized learningand feedback. All these areas have been tied with learning applications that will get students readyfor the real world.Deepening Conceptual

AEE differs from many Capstone projects because of its focus on industry methods and it isoffered in the second year of community college instead of the Senior year of many 4-yearengineering programs.Figure 1: The “Light Box” with LED lights illuminating elements of the sculpture.Figure 2: The Final Product- “Light Box” with hand-crank, pushbuttons, and cast glass and 3D-printed pyramidal elements.Learning Objectives and Assessment:This section outlines the specific learning objectives and assessment methods for the "AuthenticEngineering Experience" (AEE) project. The AEE project was conducted entirely through hands-on, practical work, with an emphasis on learning through direct experience rather than traditionalclassroom lectures or labs

We hopethe implications of teaching critical thinking in engineering judgment presented in this paper will sparkthe integration of critical thinking into other engineering curricula.IntroductionCritical thinking is central to engineering education, yet it does not have a single agreed operationaldefinition in engineering education. One useful definition described by Ahern et al (2019) quotingFacione (1990) is: “[critical thinking] is a ‘purposeful, self-regulatory judgment

the nature of these interactionsbeing able to define a relationship between these interactions and the effectiveness ofleadership skills development. Results showed the need for educators to be more purposeful indeveloping the framework of team-based group projects and more interactive by providingguidance and mentorship. Novoselich and Knight (2018) conducted research on shared leadership within capstonedesign teams. Their findings indicated that integrating social network analysis into engineeringteams demonstrated the lack of the vertical (hierarchical) structure. These authors statedengineering educators should account for shared conceptualizations of leadership whenworking with undergraduate design teams. ABET’s requirement

mathematics instructors, I wastold that “our courses are taught entirely from a mathematical perspective, without anyapplications being demonstrated”. Is it then surprising that students are unable to transfer andintegrate knowledge from multiple areas into new problems as part of capstone design courses,for example, or in their careers? This ability to transfer knowledge between courses in the undergraduate curriculum, andthen into one’s career, is an important skill that we should be imparting in our students - bothABET, the National Academy of Engineers, and ASEE have written about this need and thedesire for graduating engineers to be “T-shaped” professionals (Moghaddam et al. 2018) whohave a deep subject knowledge - the vertical of the “T
