dilemmas.Students saw some of the predicted value of working with fiction to grapple with ethical issues,as one student wrote: The science fiction book helped depict issues by separation from reality. This allowed free discussion without threat or offence.The fourth theme was the focus the student engineers put on their futures. With regards tostatements about their own futures students tended to differentiate themselves on two axes. Oneaxis ranges from declarations about specific actions to general statements about ambiguousbehaviors. The other axis ranges from technologically specific to technologically ambiguous.Figure 1 shows typical responses for each of the quadrants. While the specific topic/specificaction quote may seem unreasonable or

Manufacturing SimulationAbstractFamiliarity with manufacturing environments is an essential aspect for many engineering students.However, such environments in real world often contain expensive equipment making themdifficult to recreate in an educational setting. For this reason, simulated physical environmentswhere the process is approximated using scaled-down representations are usually used ineducation. However, such physical simulations alone may not capture all the details of a realenvironment. Virtual reality (VR) technology nowadays allows for the creation of fully immersiveenvironments, bringing simulations to the next level. Using rapidly advancing gaming technology,this research paper explores the applicability of creating multiplayer serious
