The game was designed to challenge the students in findingand evaluating various types of design mistakes. In this paper, we discuss the development of thegame and frame it in light of the existing literature to further understand the value of VR in thedesign process. In addition to the development experience, we offer a plan for the implementationand evaluation of the game with an assessment instrument designed for the game.2. LITERATURE REVIEW2.1.

Keywords: Community Engaged Learning, Construction Education, CoOp ProgramINTRODUCTIONInvolving community projects in learning experiences is not a new concept. Records indicate that it hasbeen used since the early 20th century due to the influence of renowned educator John Dewey [1]. Deweyis widely credited with encouraging students to get a practical, experience-based education to be bestprepared for the workforce. A variety of methods are used to achieve experiential learning depending onthe discipline of study. One

Both depth and breadth were associated with acquiring abroad general education, writing clearly and effectively, contributing to the welfare ofcommunities, relationships with faculty and administration, and desire to attend the sameinstitution. The study concluded that key learning outcomes desired for a college student aredriven by both experiential learning depth and breadth.
