years of the MechanicalEngineering curriculum by implementing a four-course sequence. The researchers of thesestudies measured the effect of curriculum integration on students’ motivation to stay in school,helping non-traditional students in their learning, and increasing knowledge retention of thematerial [14], [15]. Curriculum integration resulted in an overall improvement of students’performance over a three-year period [14].Computers have been used as instructional aids since the mid-40s [16]. VR technology has beenin use in many domains including the military, education, and training [17]. There are manyadvantages of using VR in learning applications [18]. VR technology provides the sense of“being there” [19] and creates a “first person

the undergraduate engineering curriculum, including which programs tend todiscuss ethics, where it falls in the curriculum, and how much attention it receives [38]–[40].This inconsistency in quantity and quality of engineering ethics education across engineeringprograms is problematic given the importance of ethical conduct as professionals. It is alsopredictable, however, given the generality of the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) student learning outcome (outcome four) associated with ethics: studentsshould have “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineeringsituations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineeringsolutions in global, economic

Screenshots are presented in Appendix 4.The homework was assigned throughout the 2 months, corresponding to the topics covered in thecourse. At the end of the semester, the student groups had to turn in their Purple Report whichrepresented an 80% complete project, complete a peer review of another group’s report, and turnin their final fully completed business plan as their final exam.Integrated Solution: Elements of their final project related to both this course and other coursesin their curriculum and the ability to use these in a practical and integrated approach.
