Engineering CurriculumAbstract  This paper explains the approach taken to develop a “design spine” within our mechanicalengineering curriculum. Developing a design spine started as a discussion about the ASMEVision 2030 document, which encourages programs to provide design experience throughout allfour years of the curriculum. Towards this end, the mechanical engineering faculty reviewed ourcurriculum and identified where and how we do teach engineering design in lecture courses,laboratories, and in the capstone design courses. We recognized that many design elements arealready incorporated throughout the curriculum but we needed to approach design in a moresystematic manner. The very meaning of “engineering design” does not enjoy universaldefinition

They had not learned to transfer experience gained intheir experimental investigations and project work which they had to do as part of theircoursework. The students were trained to be rote problem solvers and the engineeringcoursework was not sufficient to dislodge this reaction to a test question.Committee member Kelly ended his report on a rather gloomy note.

Virtual Reality (VR) can serve as a way to teach how to properly operate it. The goal of thisresearch is to create a virtual CNC mill that can provide interactive training for students. The Unitysoftware was used for this goal. Unity is a game development engine used to produce video games,utility software, and more. The functionality of the CNC simulation was created with C# scripting.The visual representation of the CNC mill was built through 3D modeling, and then transferredinto FBX 3D models which are compatible
