Numerous efforts have been made to take advantage ofthese favorable characteristics for educational purposes. The majority of these projects havefocused either on the reconstruction of certain scenarios, such as fire emergency responsetraining, driver or pilot training, medical training, and military tactics training, etc., or on therealistic simulation of real environments, such as virtual museum tours

This result reveals that experiential learning-based, pre-college engineering education programs, canbe an effective learning opportunity appropriate for, not only high school students, but also middle schoolstudents [16, 17]. This program provided the middle school students with hands-on activities which werewell-aligned to real-world manufacturing situations in an engaging and age-appropriate way.Furthermore, involving undergraduate engineering students as instructors in the program provided avaluable mentorship

A key element of the framework isthe identification of appropriate educational objectives and outcomes for the program based onindustry surveys and the analysis of accreditation criteria. The proposed RSIC curriculum modelis designed to be used by engineering schools, both in
