physical equivalents.Therefore, VR is very appropriate to be taken as an alternative solution for dangerous and costlytraining programs (e.g., firefighter training, military training, disaster relief training,new-employee training, etc.). In addition, VR can conserve most of the human and materialresources, and it can make them accessible remotely for the participants. Thus, it is a goodcandidate for the development of virtual education systems. Among the various implementationsof virtual education systems, virtual laboratories are used at various levels of education, rangingfrom the education at elementary schools to the education at universities 2,3

results.IntroductionEffectively using technology in the classroom has been a concern in education for many years.1, 2While there are a variety of technologies that are used to support education (e.g., computers3,clickers4, cell phones5, etc.), we have chosen to focus our work on electronic notebooks (i.e.,website development for project documentation). We not only explain and explore the use ofthis technology in our courses, we assess its impacts comparing sections without the newtechnology to sections with the implementation.There is a body of work in education that evaluates and discusses the impacts of electronicportfolios (EPs) which in many ways are similar to electronic notebooks. EPs are digitalcollections of artifacts that provide authentic, valid, and reliable

algorithm design will be discussed as well as the next steps for the research.IntroductionThe use of peer review is an essential part of the engineering design process. The AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers maintains an official policy, formally supporting the use of peerreview in engineering2. As an educational tool, peer review can be a valuable way to providestudents feedback without a significant increase in instructor workload. Despite all that iscurrently known about our students, the best mechanism for assigning reviewers to reviewees ina peer review of artifacts is still considered to be blind, random assignment. The underlyingconjecture of this research project is that “there has to be a better way”. Specifically, if amechanism can be

: using IR cameras in STEM outreach Abstract The recent introduction of affordable infrared (IR) cameras and IR imaging attachments for smartphones has provided a unique opportunity to enhance the education of K-12 students. We have acquired a number of different IR cameras and IR camera attachments and discuss the utilization of these devices in both a college course and in our STEM and STEAM outreach efforts. While our outreach efforts have placed us in a classroom for just an hour or two at a time, thanks to local IEEE Chapter support, we have placed IR cameras in these classrooms for several weeks at a time.
