Education, 2020 A Virtual Reality Simulation and Experiment for Sputter Deposition and Vacuum TrainingMatthew Meyers, Anh Phan, Daniel Rodriguez, Marty Clayton, Afsaneh Minaie, and Paul Weber Utah Valley University, Orem, UT 84058 USA AbstractWe have developed a laboratory exercise that teaches students the method of RF sputterdeposition for coating both metals and dielectric materials onto silicon wafers. Since thesputter system involves the rather complex structure of two-stage vacuum system including adiffusion pump, we have created a virtual reality (VR) simulation that reproduces the operatingsequence of the system with high fidelity. This simulation requires students to perform

relevant professional society, to Capstone make an informed judgment in which they must consider the impact of their scientific or engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. Table 2: Performance indicators at the Introduce, Reinforce, and Master levels and in which courses they will be assessed for the student learning outcome related to ethics and professional responsibility.The focus of this paper is on how our program assessed the ANSAC SLO 5 and EAC SLO 4 atthe “Introduce level” in our introductory physics courses in the fall of 2019 and the results of theassessment process. To introduce ethics in our physics laboratories, we created a series of casestudies and quizzes that our Introductory Physics

numeroussuppliers.The physics department at Detroit Mercy offers a 3 credit hour, junior-level course—ModernPhysics with Device Applications (PHY 3690). The course is required for electrical engineeringstudents and is offered during the winter term. In order to enroll in the course, students mustsuccessfully complete one year of a calculus-based general physics sequence of courses alongwith the associated laboratories. At Detroit Mercy the first physics course is mechanics and thesecond covers topics in electromagnetism. As juniors, students have taken a course in differentialequations and linear algebra. Engineering students are exposed to the MATLAB environmentduring their freshman year.[9] Electrical engineering students use MATLAB in their
