The students saw a demonstration of the modules and were able to manipulate the labs aswell. At the end of the visit, the students responded to a survey of attitudes toward the use of VLand career goals. The results indicate positive impacts of the experience. Specifically, students:  gained knowledge about engineering from the VL lessons  were able to understand and perform the VL lessons

Students participating in the design project also learn that solutions are rarely achievedutilizing only the knowledge base from a single engineering discipline.Finally, no program of study can teach an individual everything they will possibly need to knowduring their professional careers. Therefore, it is crucial for students to develop research skillsthat will allow them to find solutions to problems for which they have little

Most engineering Ph.D. recipients pursue careers in industry,often in industrial R&D, where their deep technical knowledge is of immediate application.
