Real-worldsituations and surprises arise constantly. So in running the course we have taken theattitude that this type of free structure is desirable because it very much mimics theworking world. In managing the course we also often make decisions on whether or notthe same would happen in the real world. If it does, and we have the industrial experiencein our faculty to adjudge this, then we allow it, even if it would not normally be allowedin a conventional course. Often big changes in a project plan are accommodated becausethey make sense and

2016/2017 academic year.IntroductionThe cost of constructing a prototype of a finished design is usually high. This is especially truewhen design projects deal with solving practical and real-world engineering design problems [1].For small undergraduate mechanical engineering programs, such as ours, resources are limited.Therefore, funding the construction of these high cost designs tends to cause problems andhinders the selection of good quality capstone senior design projects. This problem becomesmore pressing when the senior design projects are multidisciplinary which require higher budget.Multidisciplinary projects are needed in order comply with the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation criteria [2], which

Explain a Problemquestions are potentially the easiest to assign because they can be created simply by placing thewords “Explain” or “Why?” at the end of any calculation based problem. Example: “Calculatethe maximum velocity achieved by wheel A and wheel B. Explain why they are different.” Theformat of such explanations can be as detailed or simplistic as the instructor desires.

It bridges the gap between theory and practice, providing a more holisticunderstanding of electrical engineering concepts. Electrical engineering involves practical skillssuch as circuit design, troubleshooting, and equipment operation. Experiential learning providesstudents with hands-on opportunities to develop these skills, making them better prepared for thechallenges they may face in their careers. Real-world projects and experiments often presentunexpected challenges.

Almost every participant used the term real-worldto describe engineering existing beyond the classroom. Most second-year participantsdescribed being partially or fully in this theme by the end of their fourth semester. The transitionto this specific application need was catalyzed by the feeling that what they have learnedpreviously may not be transferable to industry or research jobs.

particularly crucial in the context of our immersive VR platform, where the integration of technology must support, rather than hinder, the learning process.Research in embodied cognition [6] suggests that learning is deeply tied to physical interactionswith the environment. This raises concerns about whether a VR experience that lacks physicalfeedback can fully prepare students for real-world cleanroom work. Studies such as Wang et al.(2024) have explored cleanroom microfabrication training in VR, finding that while studentsbenefit from immersive, guided learning experiences, the lack of tactile feedback presents achallenge.

This work is driven by Roehrig andcolleagues’ framework [4]. This framework includes seven key characteristics of integratedSTEM: focus on real-world problems, centrality of engineering, context integration, contentintegration, STEM practices, twenty-first century skills development, and STEM careersawareness. This framework views integrated STEM as contextualizing learning in real-worldproblems, using engineering design challenges to contextualize student learning of science, andproviding students with a realistic representation of how STEM knowledge is used
