, technology, architecture and buildingsciences, through integration of VR. VR was used to leverage a seamless virtual application thuscomplementing theories with unlimited interactive pedagogies, which kept learners engaged,interested and ultimately fosters retention particularly in haptic courses. Specifically, this studyintegrates the VR technology into an Environmental Science Laboratory to support teaching,enhance students’ understanding, and increase retention as well as triggering an interactiveeducational environment. This paper focuses on the method of advancing haptic learning withVR through introducing and analyzing five modules taught in a building sciences laboratorycourse in addition to sharing limitations and some lessons learned of

Waterloo since 2006. Prior to that, he conducted his doctoral studies at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland and his master’s degree at the University of Alberta, and he worked for several years in a structural consulting firm in Edmonton spe- cializing primarily in institutional building design. His research focuses on various issues related to steel and aluminum structures, including fatigue performance, connection design, and pedestrian-induced vi- bration design. His research employs a broad range of tools, including: fracture mechanics, structural reliability, and life-cycle cost analysis and laboratory testing. He is currently the Director of Waterloo’s new Architectural Engineering program
