opportunity within theengineering and engineering technology fields. Initially the Applied Strength of Materials courseat PNW had been run with four laboratory experiments in addition to the lectures for class. 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. Pre-ImplementationThe author has 7 years of teaching experience in the Applied Strength of Materials course andrealized that many of the teaching methods employed for the laboratory section of the coursewere outdated. At the beginning of the

forces incomparison to the perpendicular specimens. The force applied to the perpendicular specimenswas only resisted by relatively weak van der Waals interactions acting between neighboringpolymer chains, as opposed to the strong covalent bonds within the backbones of the chains.Two methods of activity implementationThis activity was designed by the course instructor (K. A. Erk) and implemented by 1 graduatestudent teaching assistant (TA; J. J. Nash) during a 2-hour laboratory activity with sophomorestudents in materials engineering at Purdue University (44 students total). To determine the mosteffective instructional method, the students were divided into two groups – Group A and B,summarized in Table 2 on the following page.Table 2: Summary

/2017 cohorts and five of the twenty-six2016 and 2017 REU students were also AMP students. REEMS activities over the academic year include: • Fall and spring seminars and research laboratory tours • Networking among partnering university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and materials professionals, and • Workshops and seminars on university transfer and academic programs at regional universities. During recruitment, the PI, REEMS staff, university research faculty, and formerREEMS REU students discuss the scope of research projects, various seminars and networkingopportunities, development of a coherent transfer plan to participating institutions, and thebenefits of both the
