Based on retrospective consideration of this case study, a variety offactors are identified. By considering these factors and how they interact in a systems level. Wemay explore opportunities to improve industrial systems design and incorporate those findingsinto engineering education so that graduates may exploit these opportunities.Generalization of Lessons LearnedClaims of 70% reductions in energy use seem outrageous on their face. Despite beingdemonstrable, many will argue that this is an isolated case and not representative of broaderindustry. However, one need only look back at the

This initiative centered on the standards required by the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board, which (like the A.B.E.T.) demands that our graduates developengineering professional skills such as information literacy and communication skills.However, while that earlier study showed us that the integrated model worked wellenough within a single course, we didn’t know whether the model would work just aswell if we applied it to an entire faculty. Therefore, we now needed to explore whether itsintroduction into the Faculty of Engineering at our institution would be possible, on theone hand, and, on the other, whether it would have a similar impact.As a result of that earlier study, we have now adopted the “liaison librarian” model.

In addition to serving as an augmented laboratoryexperience, the virtual environment has potential both as a lecture tool, to present concepts thatcan not be demonstrated on a two-dimensional blackboard, and as a vehicle for individualstudent exploration. However, the application of virtual environments always sparks argumentsthat a simulation is not reality, and that it may have the potential to mislead students about real-world material behavior.
