VR was used to leverage a seamless virtual application thuscomplementing theories with unlimited interactive pedagogies, which kept learners engaged,interested and ultimately fosters retention particularly in haptic courses. Specifically, this studyintegrates the VR technology into an Environmental Science Laboratory to support teaching,enhance students’ understanding, and increase retention as well as triggering an interactiveeducational environment. This paper focuses on the method of advancing haptic learning withVR through introducing and analyzing five modules taught in a building sciences laboratorycourse in addition to sharing limitations and some lessons learned of

A traditional engineering education will incorporate lectures, a fewproofs, a small number of hands on laboratories that relate to some of the topics being discussed,and are concluded with a capstone course that should serve as the culmination of all othercoursework and demonstrate the ability to follow the engineering design process. However, dueto the low number of retention (around 62 percent for all STEM majors1), and less than 5 percentof the nationally awarded degrees in engineering2, it is possible that the minimum engineeringcurriculum may not be enough to successfully graduate engineers.

This means one chooses the outcome of the learningexperience first, and let’s that guide the teaching/learning and the assessment/evaluation.

typically expressed in units of pounds per square foot (PSF). Even if thisvalue were measured by a laboratory test for the clay soil the helical pile is being driven into,there would still exist the aleatory variability of the natural material. However, in many cases,the strength of the soil is estimated from some other soil property that is easily, and cheaply,measured such as soil type. Thus the engineer must use ‘engineering judgement’ to estimate howmuch axial capacity a helical pile can safely hold. A commonly used correlation for soil strength,cohesion, and consistency is shown in Table 1 from Terzaghi and Peck [11].Table 1. Soil consistency and ranges of soil strength [11] Soil Consistency
