onlineeducation offers a variety of resources and focuses primarily on teaching the fundamentaltheories and concepts, one disadvantage is the lack of hands-on experience and direct interaction[1]. Particularly in engineering education, where abstract engineering concepts ideally can bebetter understood by doing the related hands-on activities such as laboratory experiments. Tosolve the issue of the practical training shortage and the lack of hands-on experience with onlineeducation, VR takes the learning experience to a next level in terms of interaction andengagement. VR refers to an artificial world that replicates the real world environment generatedby computers, and that simulates the physical presence of a user in the virtual environment [2].With the

Finally, rather than using a standalone course to teach writing,a number of engineering departments try to interweave the teaching of writing into a sequence ofengineering courses. Such a course sequence occurs with two upper-level laboratory courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Department of Virginia Tech [4]. However, with recent increases in engineering undergraduate enrollments [5], many suchcourses are stretched. Faculty are asked to teach greater loads, often without additional resources.One such example is Pennsylvania State University
