Why would an “old guard” be the dominant courseinventors for this topic, when new engineering courses are typically initiated by youngerfaculty ? Why would accomplished senior researchers and a former dean and departmentheads teach a course characteristically populated by undergraduates outside theirdepartments and college? And why did no consensus technology literacy emerge at thisworkshop, when undergraduate engineering courses are famous for their uniformitywithin the US, due largely to common utilization of a few widely accepted texts in eachdiscipline? Reflection on the individual presenters showed that their academic journeys werelogically similar in origin, but not

Further testing in other disciplines of engineering at Queen’s Universitywould help to fully understand the impact of VR on design education. It would also beinteresting to share this educational tool with other accredited post-secondary institutions to seeif the results can be replicated in their engineering programs. For future work, eye-tracking datacould be collected from this tool to develop intelligent aids to continue to improve outcomes inengineering design.8.0 References[1] W.

Moreover, students gain valuableinsights from peers’ presentations while receiving feedback and detailed explanations frominstructors during Q&A sessions.
