Spring 2016 semester, the author brainstormed variousalterations that can be done to the labs to further develop students’ understanding of conceptslearned in the course. A plan was put in motion to incorporate more laboratories to allowstudents more “hands-on” experiences. Additionally, it was decided to create a laboratoryhandbook, with pre-labs, for students to complete before performing laboratory testing. The goalwas to have the new labs and handbook ready for the Fall 2017 semester.Before the implementation of the VR enhanced laboratory experiments, students in AppliedStrength of Materials were taught how to perform the laboratory experiments via the“traditional” method.

In 2006, about 15% of first-year female college students planned to declare a major in all STEM fields combined; but ifbiological and agricultural sciences are removed, only about 5% of first-year female collegestudents intend to major in a STEM area of physical sciences, including engineering [3]. At thesame time, more than a quarter (25%) of first-year male college students declared a physicalscience major [3].
