As onestudent put in his lab report, “we had a great idea to use carbon paper to help identify the locationof the hits. We did learn that the person operating the catapult is basically only seeing thetrajectory in 2 dimensions from behind. Observers at a 45o angle have a better perspective tojudge the impact point.”The initial control charts generated by the students are shown in Figure 3. Figure

This paper uses this step-by-stepprocedure to create an XR training infrastructure so that VR can be used as a learning tool in thehigher education of civil engineering and so that other institutions could benefit from this work.The outcomes of the first and second tasks are detailed in the following sections. To implementand examine the effects of the training tool, students enrolled in Senior Design will utilize XRtechnology to visualize their final designs on Senior Design Day, the conclusion of the course.Initial assessment regarding the implementation of VR technology will be obtained during the2022 Spring semester through pre/post

enrolling in undergraduate engineering programs in the U.S. has continued togrow over the past decade, graduation rates remain stagnant (Yoder, 2016). If continued, thesetrends can have a damaging impact on our society’s economy and skilled workforce.As a result, deliberate efforts have been made by public policymakers, educators, and politiciansto invest in STEM and engineering education to strengthen our nation’s role as a world leader inscientific and technological advancement. Parallel to these efforts has been a call for the U.S. toproduce more engineers. However, one of the major challenges with increasing the number ofgraduates from undergraduate engineering disciplines is the high rate of student attrition in theseprograms. It is estimated

Information experience has been defined as “the way in which people experienceor derive meaning from the way in which they engage with information and their livedworlds” [6, pp. 5–6]. It can be understood as both a research approach, and an object of studyin itself [7].Information experiences are highly contextual [8], and for students may be shaped by factorsincluding norms and expectations of their disciplines [9], as well as social and affective needs[10], [11].

One of the most impactful consequences of moving online thatwe observed was that students were stripped of their social interactions with classmates, such aschatting before the start of a lecture, working through problems together in class, and buildingsocial ties through a shared experience. While students were often quiet and literally mutedduring lecture, they brightened up in breakout rooms.
