designed to teach students how to effectively utilize ABB robots in VR environmentsusing ABB’s RobotStudio software. This research seeks to bridge the gap between theory andpractice, offering a practical curriculum informed by the latest educational research andtechnological advancements. To this end, this project provides an initial investigation into thefollowing questions: 1) To what extent does VR support acquiring the procedural knowledge andmotor skills expected in robotics programming? 2) To what extent does this curriculumcontribute to students' mastery of robotics programming principles and ability to apply theseskills in complex tasks? 3) To what extent does this curriculum influence students' intereststoward a future career in a related

student thatmay be working can be taking another class only offered at that specific time during their workhours. This often is the result of a lack of professors at a university, but the students are the oneswho have to pay for it. With such little scheduling flexibility, students are often forced to delaytaking a class they to graduate promptly. As a result, a lack of course availability pushes theirgraduation back, and increases the amount of tuition they have paid at the end of their collegecareer. The fifth impediment is the poor course preparation students have coming into theengineering program.
