This research investigates the use of VR as an educational accessorywith the use of a VR headset (the Oculus Rift S), added with conventional classroom guidancefrom an educator. It also introduces undergraduate Construction Management (CM) students at alarge four-year university in Midwestern USA to the world of simulated VR and simultaneouslyassesses both their attitude to this hybrid learning and their academic performance and knowledgeperception regarding MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) systems in the course material.The tentative findings focus on whether the students are positively impacted by this new hybridmethod of knowledge transfer, which has realms of possibilities in this new era
, we seek to apply and validate an assessment strategy to categorizestudents’ ways of experiencing human-centered design. We directly build on Zoltowski et al.’s[2] findings which suggest that engineering students experience human-centered design in sevencategorically discrete ways. Guided by this prior study, we seek to address the research question,“To what extent can we use post-course open-ended written reflection data to identifyengineering students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design?” The use of reflection datato categorize students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design is unique from othermethods that have extended Zoltowski et al.’s work but may offer a more accessible assessmentmodality for design instructors.

At the inception of the modern biomaterials field in the 1940’s, this mostly includedbioinert medical devices and prostheses for cardiovascular and orthopaedic applications [2].Since this time, biomaterials have evolved with the field of tissue engineering, which aims todevelop functional substitutes for damaged tissues [3]. Today, scientists, engineers, andclinicians collaborate to develop a wide range of novel biomaterials that can diagnose and treatnumerous diseases in previously unimaginable ways [4

Alising phenomenon in frequency domain.In practical situations, the input signal is always band limited, so we can assume that the upperlimit of the frequency is fMAX. The Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem [2] indicates that thesampling frequency should be at least twice of fMAX, i.e. f S 2 f MAX , which can be understoodeasily from Fig. 1. On the other hand, if the sampling frequency is fixed, the bandwidth of theinput signal is required to be no greater than fs/2, which is called the Nyquist frequency and it isan attribute of the electronic device.Students can understand the Nyquist-Shannon
3D [29], or simulation software, such as Simio [30]. Whenbuilt with Unity, the virtual system can be explored using a VR headset such as Oculus Quest[31], [32]. Unity games can be viewed on a computer screen but will require rebuilding thevirtual system to accommodate that. When built using Simio, the virtual systems can be exploredon a computer screen and a VR headset (Oculus Rift, Rift S, or tethered Quest) which add moreflexibility and scalability. This is especially important when teaching students remotely, and notall the students have VR headsets.When selecting a system, the system should be complex enough to include challenges andactivities that cover many problems and concepts from several courses in the IE curriculum, butnot too

Therefore, with the shift into a virtual learning space, itbecomes imperative to maintain the kinesthetic learning aspect of laboratory based courses, toengage students, as well as to help them gain better conceptual

A logoshown in Figure 1 was developed in the early 1990’s to express the author’s ideas at that time, andover time has had an international influence7. Full implementation of the paradigm was not fullyrealized until 20 years after the logo was first published. Now, as we enter the third decade of the21st century, the 3-D computer model is firmly entrenched as the epicenter of the modern digitaldesign and manufacturing enterprise.

Bartlett’s test ofsphericity measures the hypothesis that the item correlation matrix is an identity matrix, whichrepresents that factor analysis is not possible as the items are unrelated. A significant test result (p< 0.05) rejects the null hypothesis, indicating that the data are factorable [25].The number of factors were then determined using a scree plot examination, Kaiser test, andparallel analysis [24]. The scree plot is a line plot of eigenvalue factors that shows the point atwhich extracting more factors does not explain more variance. The Kaiser method retains factorswith eigenvalues greater than 1 [24]. Parallel analysis helps determine meaningful factors
