This use of virtual reality technology will enable educators tocreate and students to experience the complex aircraft maintenance environment in aneducational classroom, a setting where it has not yet been successfully created using traditionalmultimedia-based technologies. This model will emphasize the curriculum development andworkplace preparedness needed by modern aircraft maintenance technology for local, state andnational audiences. The primary objectives of this research are curriculum enhancement andassessment of VR as a pedagogical tool. This innovative approach is the first effort to extendtested VR technology to the aircraft maintenance technology curriculum in a two-year college.The

To meet this industrial need, the educational modus operandimust be updated to incorporate the revolutionary new design techniques being developed in the RASSPprogram and elsewhere. In effect, a paradigm shift in digital system design education is needed. This paper will describe a novel educational program that will ensure the successful transfer of the newtechnologies and

The first approach envisions a two-year curriculum in which E and ET students enroll in a set of common technical core courses. Atthe end of the second year, students would make a well-educated decision to become eitherengineering or engineering technology majors, subsequently completing a BS degree. Thesecond approach mimics the educational models in medicine, nursing, or law. A professionalengineering degree would require a pre-requisite 4-year
