The VL was also used to expose students to design andsimulation software that was deemed to be critical for research and industry settings. Thecurricular intervention was assessed quantitatively using a questionnaire (Likert-scale) and open-ended comments from the students. In particular, the effectiveness of the VL interventionfocused on students’ perceptions of the VL’s usefulness towards learning mechanicalengineering concepts and simulation skills and relation to development of skills for employment

engineering work is organized. Among the mindsets Riley outlines are: (1) Positivist epistemology / Myth of Objectivity, (2) Commitment to Problem Solving / Reductionism, and (3) Narrow Technical Focus / Lack of Other Skills. Thus, engineering is seen as mainly concerned with technical knowledge (as opposed to teamwork and collaboration), combined with epistemological orientations towards reductionist, positivist thinking, where mathematics and data-driven arguments are seen as superior to arguments based in more expansive thinking about society and values. Riley also notes the centrality of military and private profit-driven organizations within engineering work that tends
