Course projects Page 25.231.2 2. Software assignments 3. Journal reading and research 4. Online help, class handouts, and other ancillary materials.However, most of such efforts rely on instructor’s experience and his/ her desire and initiative toimprove teaching skills.

Besides principles of good practice in multi-media design16,17, a number of importantcriteria were considered in the development of the review modules. Specifically,≠ Where appropriate, modules should consider a variety of learning styles≠ Review modules should primarily be focused at knowledge (Foundational) level on the Steps for Better Thinking model (see Figure 2).≠ Review modules should be relatively short and should provide opportunities for exploration of applications related to the topic.≠ Embedded online interactive exercises should be self-correcting.≠ Navigation through review modules should be student-controlled.≠ All materials developed should be suitable for incorporation with a classroom project or as a stand-alone review

apositive impact on the students’ motivation, engineering identity, and knowledge gain over thelong run and when used across the curriculum. Moreover, IE instructors interested in providingan immersive and integrative learning experience to their students could leverage the VRlearning modules developed for this project.1. IntroductionLike the majority of engineering curricula, the structure of the Industrial Engineering (IE)curriculum consists of a set of courses that are ordered in a sequence such that later courses buildupon the knowledge learned in the earlier courses, with each course usually being taught by adifferent instructor 1. This traditional course-centric curriculum structure has limited ability toestablish the connection between

The settings and link functions considered were all default selections of SAS version9.4 (m3). The various regression model techniques were compared using the AkaikeInformation Criterion12 (AIC), AICc, and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). For thepurposes of this project, the authors considered statistical significance at the α = 0.05 level. AIC,AICc, and BIC were used as the comparisons for goodness of fit between the models created,rather than R2 and Adjusted R2, because techniques for calculating R2 and Adjusted R2 regardinggoodness of fit for some nonlinear

, that bench-top lathes can be considered as viable alternatives totheir industrial sized cousins. Similarly, an analysis of the responses from faculty and industrysuggest that bench-top lathes are a viable alternative to larger industrial lathes. Bench-top lathes,because of their size, have limitations, such as reduced capacity and less rigidity, therebyrestricting the size materials that can be produced by these lathes. However, because of materialcosts, it may be more appropriate for students to work on smaller projects in educational settings.Finding ways to continue to educate students using effective pedagogical practices and preparingthem for various field of work may require some creative thinking in a time of fiscal

It is also a way to seethe linkage between the courses [39].3.4 Future PlanThe plan of this project is to assess the impact of i) using VR technology to teach IE conceptsand ii) using VR teaching modules to integrate the IE curriculum. The assessment involves twocohorts: control and intervention groups. The authors are currently collecting data for the controlgroup. Once the VR module is fully developed, relevant data will be collected and analyzed withrespect to the control group. The assessment instruments involve self-report surveys andknowledge tests
