The programmes consistedmostly of articulated outcomes (88 %) and, therefore, most activities were curriculum based(75%). Students were exposed to campus based hands-on projects and faculty members (75%)provided mentoring in the majority of the programs. The information from Graham et al.4 wasapplied to develop the new WELA LDP. A summary of the most significant activities or themesacross the eight university programmes is provided in Table 2.

Therefore, a solid XR traininginfrastructure is desired to facilitate the adoption process.This paper is a work-in-progress and will emphasize the development of the VR infrastructurefor Civil Engineering courses. Three main tasks are involved in this project. The first task is tocompile a broad literature review of the use of XR technology in Civil Engineering education toprovide insight to the instructors.

At this point, course outcomes have gone through two full iterationsof development and review by both curriculum committees and teaching faculty. As a result,every engineering technology course in Penn State ET programs is now directly associated withone or more of a program’s expected outcomes, each program outcome is broken down intoexplicit, course-relevant outcomes that support it, and each course outcome is characterized interms of reasonably clear and measurable student actions. As noted earlier, these linkages between program and course outcomes are communicatedto faculty via the standard course
