Education, 2020 A Virtual Reality Simulation and Experiment for Sputter Deposition and Vacuum TrainingMatthew Meyers, Anh Phan, Daniel Rodriguez, Marty Clayton, Afsaneh Minaie, and Paul Weber Utah Valley University, Orem, UT 84058 USA AbstractWe have developed a laboratory exercise that teaches students the method of RF sputterdeposition for coating both metals and dielectric materials onto silicon wafers. Since thesputter system involves the rather complex structure of two-stage vacuum system including adiffusion pump, we have created a virtual reality (VR) simulation that reproduces the operatingsequence of the system with high fidelity. This simulation requires students to perform

degree programstogether with a limited number of master degree programs. Since 2015, all engineering studentsat our institution have followed a common first year syllabus, taking Engineering Physics I(hereafter EP 1) in the fall of their freshman year concurrently with Calculus I, and EngineeringPhysics II in the spring of freshman year concurrently with Calculus II.We believe that teachers, who demonstrate curiosity and passion about physics, will motivatestudents to learn at all costs. Physics is one of the subject where the theory learned in the lectureroom can be complemented with real life experiments in laboratories [3,4]. Physics courseevaluations and feedback studies [5-8] are extremely important at the freshmen level to provide

class, it can be difficult to employ a writing-based approach. This difficulty arises in large part because these approaches are often seen astime-consuming when it comes to grading. And, these types of classes are already filled with agreat deal of homework assignments that primarily focus on problem solving. These homeworkassignments often serve as the primary mechanism outside of exams and quizzes to assessstudent learning. Many of these introductory courses also include a laboratory component. Theassessment of the laboratory component typically involves a written laboratory report. Becausethe introductory classes often have a reasonably large number of students in them, it may bechallenging to think about adding a writing component to these

following the same design as that reported inthe previous study [4]. The textbook for the course was “University Physics” by Young andFreedman [9]. Students of the course also attended weekly laboratory sessions where “Tutorialsin Introductory Physics” by McDermott and Schaffer [10] was used extensively. All the courseactivities, including the tests, were conducted in Spanish.To measure conceptual understanding, we administered a version in Spanish [11] of theConceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) [12] as a pre- and post-test along with12 DC circuits questions from the Electric Circuits Concept Evaluation (ECCE) [13]. While allthe students enrolled in the course participated in the pre-test, only 63 students took the post-test.During

numeroussuppliers.The physics department at Detroit Mercy offers a 3 credit hour, junior-level course—ModernPhysics with Device Applications (PHY 3690). The course is required for electrical engineeringstudents and is offered during the winter term. In order to enroll in the course, students mustsuccessfully complete one year of a calculus-based general physics sequence of courses alongwith the associated laboratories. At Detroit Mercy the first physics course is mechanics and thesecond covers topics in electromagnetism. As juniors, students have taken a course in differentialequations and linear algebra. Engineering students are exposed to the MATLAB environmentduring their freshman year.[9] Electrical engineering students use MATLAB in their
