, multimedia now provides greaterflexibility in teaching and learning. Although prior short-term experimental programs conclude strongly that VR can enhancelearning, educators still must overcome several technological and educational challenges to bringVR into regular classroom use: • When, where, and how should we introduce VR into existing curricula? • How can VR be used as a communication tool, rather than just a visual aid, in the classroom? • How should we teach students to use VR tools? Introducing new technology into classrooms also brings in the requirement for coursereformation. This paper describes a teaching and learning experience in which VR tools wereintroduced into design and technical graphics courses at three

]. Requirements generation and evolution can continue through laterstages of design, influencing project and product success [3]. Requirements have also beenshown to impact the product and project costs [4]. They should elicit and embody the voice ofthe customer and be translated into technical specifications. Ultimately, they must be managedthroughout the design process and used in the testing and evaluation of the product. The Houseof Quality is used as a phase of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) process to supportcollaborative design teams in these objectives [5]. This paper focuses on the implementation ofan intervention to assist students with requirements development in a Capstone design course.This will also be used to form a basis for later

ofinterdisciplinary research [12]. Introducing the research life cycle can help students understandthe role of technical writing throughout each phase. By incorporating proposal writing, studentsgain insight into their advisor’s objectives and understand how proposals fit into the broaderresearch cycle, with paper writing being one key milestone. Furthermore, as AI tools likeChatGPT become more widely used, students may face challenges in understanding how to usethese tools effectively and ethically.To address the aforementioned challenges in graduate students’ technical writing, this pilotproject aims to develop and implement a 9-week intensive summer course designed to rapidlycultivate and enhance the technical writing skills of graduate students in the

This paper examines the major PLM tools andsoftware used to establish a collaborative design space: computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product data management(PDM). The interactions between these PLM tools and a business’ organizational structure areanalyzed to determine some of the most effective PLM integration strategies to improvecollaboration for all functions.

The authors provide resources so that other educators—especially thosewith no training in visual design—can emulate these results.
