into the pedagogy of laboratory design.1 IntroductionEngineering is a discipline that requires interaction with the physical world, so it is of littlesurprise that there is broad consensus among engineering educators that laboratory classes are animportant part of engineering curriculums ​[1]​. However, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) doesn’t specify how many laboratory classes should be inan engineering program, instead offering the guideline that laboratory experiences should be“appropriate to the program” ​[2]​. Literature is also quiet on the question of “how manyengineering laboratory classes does an undergraduate engineer take?”This study tried to answer that question by performing a systematic review of

With the advance of virtual reality (VR) technologies in terms of bothsoftware and hardware, there is a need to advance the education with adopting advanced VRtechnologies. In this project, we present our latest results of developing new VR modules in AMcurriculum. Specifically, the developed VR modules for fusion deposition modeling and fatiguetesting will be presented. In the on-going research, students will be required to use the VR modulesin comparison with the physical lab experiments. The focus will be understanding the effectivenessof VR technology on engineering curriculum.1.
