Additionally, after the VRactivity, the authors conducted an exit survey, obtaining the students’ perception of theactivity. The data obtained from the different surveys and evaluations allowed the authors to(1) develop an ordered probit regression model to understand the influence of several factorssuch as academic level, gender, first-generation and international status; (2) identify themajor deficiencies in CM students' communication and presentation skills; and (3) assess theeffects of VR-based presentation simulations on CM students’ presentation skills.

IntroductionMechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics andintelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products andprocesses [1]. It integrates sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, power electronics, decisionand control algorithms, and computer hardware and software to manage complexity andcommunication in engineered systems. Mechatronics continues to play an increasing andexpanding role in modern industry and is instrumental in their attempts to apply automation toindustrial processes, and even in attempts to make the processes autonomous.

First, we engineering librarians havemany responsibilities besides collection management including instruction, reference, public servicesand outreach.

In a specifications grading approach, facultyprovide clear specifications of what is required to earn a given grade in the class. Rather thanbasing grades on point totals or a weighting system, students are given the option to completespecific assignments or bundles of assignments that link to a specified grade.

Asan example, if the instructor only wishes to ensure that a section of 16 students ispartitioned into 4 teams of equal size and with each team having maximally homogeneousstudent majors, then the instructor can quickly find sets of 4 students that have the samemajor, followed by sets of 4 students with 2 majors represented, etc. On the other hand,this optimization problem quickly gets to be
