, a Designer, and a tenure track Assistant Professor at Mississippi State Uni- versity. She believes that well-designed digital experiences and technology can improve the quality of human living, and her goal is to design, make, and create things that have an impact on society. Having this personal mission statement in mind, her design and research have been focusing on human-centered design for the greater good. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Measuring Individuals’ Systems Thinking Skills through the Development of an Immersive Virtual Reality Complex System ScenariosAbstractThe proposed virtual reality (VR) gaming scenario provides a virtual profile that assesses
Aerospace. The authors’ initial survey indicates that these companiesfocus on the design and construction of space vehicles while the vibration testing is mostly sub-contracted. Some of these companies have expressed the desire to use the services of MSUDenver in the testing of small satellites if those services were available. Manufacturers of testingequipment have also been approached to understand the range and limitations of theirequipment’s, the capabilities and the cost. Following these conversations, there appears to be anopportunity MSU Denver Engineering Department to cooperate with this industry. The goal is toimplement the technology and simultaneously solidify the knowledge base in vibration testing ofsatellites systems, since this type

Formalize the development, integration, and use of models to inform enterprise and program decision making 2. Provide an enduring, authoritative source of truth 3. Incorporate technological innovation to improve the engineering practice 4. Establish a supporting infrastructure and environment to perform activities, collaborate, and communicate across stakeholders 5. Transform the culture and workforce to adopt and
