The design process initiates with the formation ofproject teams.The remainder of the structured development process encompasses two consecutive semesters ofextensive work commitment by each team of students. The process can be subdivided into 5phases: conceptual design, system level design, detailed product/process design, verification, andproduction1; similar to that presented in reference Ulrich and Eppinger [2000] Each phase isrealized via

Assessment of students’ responses to the use of VR is also discussed in this paper.MethodThe VR lessons were developed for lower-level courses in aerospace engineering, biology,electrical engineering, mathematics and physics. Five undergraduate students, one from eachdiscipline, were hired to assist the faculty. The first step in the process of development of the VRlessons was the identification of topics of the lessons.

materialssuch as concrete masonry units or fabricated structural steel are linked to particular installationswithin the BIM. This allows for the possibility of integrated engineering design such as finiteelement analysis. Consequently, as BIM technology progresses and improves, it has importantimplications for the practical and educational aspects of construction engineering.This paper explores the link between BIM implementation and onsite construction activity asexperienced in a classroom setting. Starting with the design of a 36-unit multifamily residentialproject, students used BIM software to avoid conflict and enhance coordination ahead of actualconstruction. Live cost data were used to guide and inform the design process. This allowedstudents to

These courses typically provide lecturecontent, hands-on labs, and software integration in their course makeup. The learning outcomesfrom the ACCE include understanding the foundations of estimation, scheduling, and projectmanagement for the construction of built projects through concepts, digital tools, and hands-onlaboratories.During the pandemic, most higher education institutions faced challenges in achieving propermeasurement and benchmarking against the assessment due to the quick adoption of hybridlearning environments [4].

broader implementation strategy to include engineering discipline tailoring andeducational research as discussed in our summary and conclusions.2.0 Systems Engineering (SE) Design Course ConceptSE Design differs from the traditional engineering educational approach where, if SE is taught atall, it is taught as a separate subject. Our approach integrates SE fundamentals into the course ashands-on engineering principles and uses the structure of the course itself to apply SE to design.The approach is applicable to one and two semester course formats with either "paper" orhardware/software design projects although our experience suggests the most effective methodinvolves hands-on projects that have to demonstrate a working capability.By structure
conducting this research, the authors contacted Dr. Tenenberg regarding his surveyinstrument and to request permission to use it. After discussion, it was decided that for thisstudy, a similar but more in-depth instrument would be utilized. The major difference betweenthe two surveys is that the Tenenberg work utilized face-to-face sections, while this study usedonline courses with the intent to compare methodologies for impact upon online delivery fordistance education. The survey was designed and administered using Qualtrics, data summarizedwith SAS statistical software JMP Pro 11.2.
