A subsequent NRCreport, Interdisciplinary Research (1990; cited in Klein, 20107), noted increasing collaborationsbetween the physical sciences and engineering as well as in the life sciences and medicine. Kleinpoints out that boundaries were crossed not only between academic fields, but between industryand academia, evidenced by the growth in numbers and importance of university technologytransfer operations.Although it is the mission of most undergraduate engineering programs to prepare new engineersto solve real-world problems, which are arguably inherently interdisciplinary by nature, changesin the engineering curriculum have been slow to materialize.

Another kind of activityimplemented in this course is the application of knowledge in real life problems and work, sothat students can apply their knowledge and abilities acquired on the course.

We realized that it was necessary to create VLs that provided the opportunity for visualizing engineering applications (e.g., aerospace vehicles and components) that provided the physical understanding of the solid-mechanics topics (i.e., deformation and stress), thereby satisfying the need for “why.”In the above observations (1–2), we went from the physical hands-on labs to the VLs. Then, wewent from the VLs to the improved VLs that enabled the opportunity to visualize thedeformation and stress in aerospace vehicles and components.
