successful training and consistent participation of theconstruction workforce to minimize accidents on jobsites. While traditional safety training hasfeatured classroom lectures and quick toolbox talks, the emerging technology of AugmentedReality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) has recently been utilized by several different groups to attemptto improve construction safety training programs. This paper is presenting the current state of awork-in-progress project to investigate both the acceptance and efficacy of existing AR/VRconstruction safety programs and develop an improved AR/VR construction safety game. Thecurrent stage is the baseline measurement of efficacy using traditional classroom lectures as wellas early planning/creation of the improved AR/VR

While the impact of this researchwill certainly address the existing dismal 45-60% DFW rate of Pre-Calculus across our campusthat needs to be rectified, it is designed with scalability in mind. This project will create variedanimation scenarios for students to experience real life situations where they would applymathematics.

conjunction with the visual stimulation of going to the site, or bringing the site to the classroom through video, it is important for students to have tactile stimulation as well. This workaims to provide the means for this tactile stimulation with three dimensional scaled models ofconstruction projects, a process we call “shrinking the construction site.” Through careful andaccurate design of the 3D models, it is possible to show construction processes and step by stepprocedures for the construction of various building elements all while providing visual andtactile stimulation for students in a classroom environment.This paper describes the procedures taken in order to design and construct a 3D model of theprocesses taking place during the

Further, the retention of transfer students was not a significant issue, perhapsbecause these students have already taken some of the courses with the highest DFW rates,although this theory is unconfirmed.
