American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Teaching Report Writing in Undergraduate LabsAbstractFor undergraduate engineering students in lower level laboratory classes, writing up the resultsfrom their lab activities is often far more of a challenge than performing the activity itself oreven analyzing the results. The instructor’s challenge is therefore not just to teach concepts liketensile testing or cooling curve analysis, but also to teach technical communication and theaccepted reporting standards and vocabulary of the field.

Notonly were the four laboratory experiments enhanced with VR, and subsequent pre-labs in whichstudents used VR to better understand he laboratories, but four more laboratory exercises wereadded. This allowed the students to compare theoretical calculations to VR and software(MDSolids) calculations.2.
