He is highly interested in conducting research within the Engineering Education frame- work. Mr. Yeter plans to graduate in December 2016 with both degrees and is looking forward to securing a teaching position within a research university and continuing his in-depth research on Engineering Ed- ucation. He is one of two scholarships awarded by NARST (National Association for Research in Science Teach- ing) to attend the ESERA (European Science Education Research Association) summer research confer- ˇ e Budˇejovice, Czech Republic

A plain desktop VR without any accessories, enhanceddVR with MS Kinect and HMD, and the CAVE-based iSpace virtual environment. The modesproposed in this study (dVR, enhanced dVR, and iSpace) are intended to be capable of thefollowing (although with varying levels of fidelity, immersion, and navigation

CNC machine without the need to be in a physical lab. Users operatein the virtual environment using an immersive virtual reality headset (i.e. Oculus Rift) and standard inputdevices (i.e. mouse and keyboard), both of which combined make for easy movement and realisticvisuals. On-screen tutorials allow users to learn about what they need to do to operate the machinewithout the need for outside instruction. While designing and perfecting this environment has been theprimary focus of this project thus far, the research goal is to test the ease of use and the pedagogicaleffectiveness of the immersive technology as it relates to education in STEM fields.Initial usability studies for this environment featured students from the graduate level CAD

understanding. However, those limitations may be resolvedwith improvements in the design of the software. Specifically, the design of 2D and 3Denvironments will need to reduce the level of support provided to participants. For example, the3D breadboard software can progressively decrease the feedback provided to learners so thatthey have the help they need early in practice but are not hindered as they prepare for thetransition. Both the 2D simulation and the 3D breadboard software can also facilitate thetransition by requiring similar procedures to what is necessary in the physical environment. Forexample, allowing participants to choose the correct resistor by reading a resistance sheet is amore difficult task then allowing them to type in the

He has been a graduate advisor for several senior design projects, including a construction of a power amplifier, a design of a solar PV plant to support voltage at the end of the feeder, and a development of algorithm to determine the hosting capacity of a distribution feeder. Currently, he is working as an engineering contractor for Idaho Power. His main work is to evaluate the impact of utility scale PV farms connected to the distribution system and create mitigation options. Previously, he was a field engineer for a private construction company in Mexico designing and

Taylor graduated magna cum laude with a double major in computer science and physics from Amherst College in 2001. After working for two years as a software developer, he began his Ph.D. work at the University of Texas at Austin with an MCD fellowship from the College of Natural Sciences. He received his doctorate from the Department of Computer Sciences in the summer of 2008, supervised by Peter Stone. Matt then completed a two year postdoctoral research position at the University of Southern California with Milind Tambe and spent 2.5 years as an assistant professor at Lafayette College
