This paper focuses on the SEM module of the VR project.2.0 RationalThe goal of the SEM module is to enable students to become familiar with the features,capabilities, and controls of the SEM in a cost effective, safe, and interactive environment, priorto, or in the place of, using a real SEM. Benefits of using the VR SEM are listed below.Cost effectiveThe VR SEM can negate costs associated with SEM education in the following ways: • Reduces the high energy and material costs of running the SEM continually during

Even inhighly intensive research institutions, the goal of research is arguably to push the boundariesof knowledge and educate others about what is found. As a part of this mission, a major partof student learning is the opportunity to learn. Learning is a process that is active1-3, builds onprior knowledge4, occurs within a social environment5-7, and requires cognitive engagementin the process itself8.

While design thinking is commonly associated with fields likeindustrial design, it can be applied to many problem types. For example, several recent examplesdemonstrate the applicability of design thinking to the design and development of educationalmaterials, courses, and systems. These results suggest that design thinking could be used as aframework to (re)design and develop effective engineering courses. The goal of this project is tounderstand how nine educators from different backgrounds did or did not use design thinking toredesign a sophomore
