Thework presented here was conducted using Oculus Rift S PC-powered VR gaming headsets, eachaveraging around $400 10 . Additionally, each headset requires a dedicated desktop, valued atapproximately $5000 in 2019, along with sufficient dedicated physical space for user interaction.These requirements make VR setups costly and space-intensive, limiting the number of studentsparticipating in VR-based learning at any given time.While high-end VR setups can be expensive, universities can explore alternative fundingstrategies to make adoption more feasible.

Through theseprojects, students have successfully approached an open-ended design problem and worked witha team to deliver a variety of permanent on-campus structures.Course and Institutional ContextThe Cal Poly College of Architecture & Environmental Design (CAED) houses the disciplines ofarchitecture (ARCH), architectural engineering (ARCE), construction management (CM), cityand regional planning (CRP), and landscape architecture (LARCH). As a result, both seniorproject course options – ARCE 412 and 453, described below – for architectural engineeringstudents are interdisciplinary in ways unique to its location in the CAED. This can be attributedto: ARCE faculty member(s) that lead the capstone have their PE or SE license and haveexperience

This indicates that accidental detections are highly unlikely and should notbe a significant concern [1].rR= K ●rA ●rB ●rC●τ2, where rA, rB and rC are the count rates for the three inputs, τ is the pulsewidth (10-6 s), and K is a constant in the order of magnitude 1 (that depends on experimentaldetails). With count rates for the individual inputs in the order of 0.5 s-1, a random coincidencewill happen once every 105 years.In the second part of our experiment, we explored the angular dependence of muon incidence bypositioning the three GM tubes in Telescope Mode.

. Addressing this area requires greater faculty engagement to clarify gradingresponsibilities and expectations, given the variability across the department. Future plansinclude creating recorded models of effective student-TA interactions, expanding our case studiesto cover diverse teaching scenarios, and curating a library of engineering problems with feedbackthat emphasize metacognitive strategies. We will continue to gather data about the trainingprogram to assess its impact on TA confidence, teaching effectiveness, and student learningoutcomes. This ongoing evaluation will help refine the training by identifying areas forimprovement and ensuring alignment with both TA needs and departmental expectations.References[1] S. B. Philipp, T. R.
