industry partners from the manufacturing workforce for guidance. An effectiveABET assessment process will help build a curriculum that meets the standards necessary toprepare graduates to enter industrial manufacturing fields in the global workforce. A curriculumdevelopment and assessment committee was formed in the first year the program was launched.The committee was charged with preparing a plan for measuring student learning outcomes andimplementing a robust framework utilizing the university’s learning management system (LMS).The data and results collected from this learning management tool will help in decision-makingfor curriculum revisions and continuous improvement. Three papers have been presented in theprevious years that introduced the

from students of all levels: freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The reason forincluding all levels was to. 1. Collect the perception of students on the importance of internship 2. Get feedback from students who have already completed at least one internship.The results from the two groups provided a clear analysis of why internships are important forstudents in their performance and post-graduation plans, whether joining a graduate program orgoing to work in the industry. The articles reviewed collectively emphasize the multifacetedbenefits of internships, from academic performance enhancement to improved career readiness.Key Benefits of InternshipsBridging Theory and PracticeBringing theory and practice from the classroom to the

was instrumental in making the program accessible and sustainable. Dean ofArts and Sciences contributed $5,000, while Director of the STEM Center donated $500 towardspurchasing materials. BrightRidge and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) made a substantialcommitment of $100,000 to support the program for three years, ensuring its continuity andexpansion.Strategic Planning and Program DesignThe Applied STEM Summer Institute was conceived as a dynamic, hands-on program designedto immerse high school students in STEM disciplines. The initial planning began in Fall 2023,with the goal of creating a program that would not only educate but also inspire students topursue careers in STEM. The program targets high school students who have shown an

above, careful planning and preparation are essential both dur-ing the development of VR simulations and their implementation in the classroom. Educatorsand developers must collaborate to design experiences that are pedagogically sound, appropriatelyimmersive, and accommodating to users’ needs. This paper aims to provide a framework for nav-igating these concerns by offering educators and developers with a series of best practices forcreating effective VR learning simulations.Design Challenges for VR DevelopmentIdentifying Proper UseIt is critical to understand how to maximize the benefits of VR before educators invest in technol-ogy and development. VR potential is best realized when applied to topics that align with the DICEframework
