. However, despite its advantages, the conventional VR technology, which is based-on desktop software and specialized immersion equipment, is often considered as a high-endapplication in distance education. The higher education institutions find the conventional VRtechnology difficult to apply in distance learning for the following reasons: i) VR developersoften rely on plugins or native applications and ask their users to download and install customsoftware in order to deliver a hardware-accelerated 3D experience. With the high complexity ofthe VR software, it is hard for average distance learning students to setup and operate the VRsystems on their own without significant help, ii) cost of the VR software, computationalhardware and the hardware

Furthermore, existing manuals were oftenconstrained by their alignment with specific CAD software, development boards, and benchequipment, limiting their applicability.Intel Inc., through its educational initiatives, offers complimentary resources primarilycentered on FPLD board activities, catering to a more advanced demographic.

To educate computer engineering studentsat our university effectively and practically, we have instituted a Senior Design Project toprovide hands-on activity in class. This is beneficial since students are exposed to real-worldengineering problems, that involve both software and hardware components of computer systems.Utilizing a computer platform to build a wireless system provides hands-on and practicalexamples for students4.

The primary barriers to BIM implementation in CM curricula include the following:12,13, 18, 19  Faculty members’ unwillingness to change the existing curriculum  Lack of resources including educational materials, number of experts to teach BIM, time required to make curriculum changes, and number of required courses within the curriculum  Complexity of relatively new BIM software tools, software upgrading, costs, and training  Level of knowledge required to use and teach BIM softwareIn addition, there are no standards

To accomplish this objective, the author bases much of his teaching onHCI design which has the main goal of building interactive systems that are easy to learn, effective touse, and enjoyable from the user’s perspective3. These characteristics are summed up in one word –usability. Usability can only be understood from the user’s mind-set. Software developers find itdifficult to get into the user’s mind to capture the essence of the requirements to be able to build aproduct that satisfies the user’s real needs. The role of an user-centered design educator
