To assess the effectiveness of these techniques, we introduce threegame scenes within our study with beams under tension, compression, bending, and torsion.Preliminary results from an early pilot user study show the promise of the proposed platformin inducing a sense of stiffness. The proposed application provides a promising pathway forimmersive experiential learning of engineering concepts that would otherwise requireexpensive laboratory experiments.IntroductionStructural mechanics involves studying members' force and displacement distribution underdifferent

In part because of their diverse and numerous responsibilities, TAs also tendto have much more frequent interactions with students than faculty do. Particularly in large,introductory courses at the freshman and sophomore levels, this means that TAs are often morevisible to undergraduate students than faculty.
