well in the course. We foundthat over all students who spend more time do not do better in the course perhaps becausetheir time is not spent effectively. Yet, students who spend more time on practice examsperformed better in the class. This is especially true for students who come into the coursewith low expectation to do well. In future work, we plan to examine how we might turn thisinformation into an intervention.5 AcknowledgementsWe would like to acknowledge the Grainger College of Engineering Strategic InstructionalInitiatives (SIIP) program for the funding for this project.

We created our section with the intent to teach students theimportance of engaging with publics and communities as part of the engineering design process.While such engagement is increasingly becoming the norm for the design of smaller, and lesscomplex systems, the designers of complex sociotechnical systems – transportation and energysystems being two key examples – seldom engage with communities during the process oftechnology development.

Background - Student VeteransStudent veterans are older, post-traditional students who pursue higher education [1-2]. Ohlandreports that economics plays a major role for non-traditional students, and especially for studentveterans. It is the primary factor to return to school, where to attend, and what degree program tostudy [3]. Institution preference is often affected by proximity to current location and to family,cost and reputation. Student veterans are motivated by career opportunities, self-improvementand personal

The VRlesson was also found to result in higher emotional arousal and lower cognitive engagement. Theauthors suggested that the excessive emotional arousal caused by VR high immersion distractsthe learner from cognitive processing of the information. On the other hand, Lai et al. resultsindicated that students using AR perceived a significantly lower extraneous cognitive loadcompared to those who learned with conventional multimedia [49].There were mixed results in terms of student preference.

While CM students do apply science andmathematics to develop cost estimates and schedules, it should be also noted that successfulconstruction relies on the application of several other engineering concepts including statics,dynamics, structures, hydraulics, and soils analysis.
