Engineering Education, 2019 Unreal Collaboration: Exploring the Use of Formal Collaborative Learning Strategy in Games Development CourseworkAbstractAn unpleasant sense of isolation is a common complaint amongst computing students andprofessionals alike. It is a well-documented cause of attrition throughout the discipline, one towhich those from backgrounds already underrepresented in computing are particularlyvulnerable. Though no silver bullet exists, collaborative work and learning strategies (such aspair programming) are a well-researched, commonly-practiced means of deterring this sense ofisolation. However, studies on the employment of collaborative learning strategies in college-level computing coursework have focused almost

The complexityof engineering problems has required engineers to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.Therefore, multidisciplinary capstone design has been becoming a regular practice in engineeringschools. However, collaborative design among multiple disciplines for non-capstone courses hasbeen neglected. In spring 2018, students enrolled in Measurements and

IntroductionThough immersive virtual reality technology has existed for over half a century, early hardwarewas inaccessible for the vast majority of potential applications due to cost and issues thatincluded significant discomfort and nausea [1]. Fortunately, the latest generations of immersivevirtual reality equipment have largely mitigated many of these issues through more responsivesensing and display as well as the incorporating of several decades of usability research intoapplication and interface design [2]. As a result, there has been a notable rise in the

Furthermore, the old system waslimited to manufacturing equipment located in the machine shop and did not addressnon-powered tools. As a result of these
